My challenge is that my client has a learning management system where you cannot set deep links to the courses of the indi...

Depending on which button they click, I set a boolean variable (e.g., Path_Microbiology is set to true if the learner clicks the first button ("I work with microorganisms") and Path_Botany and Path_Zoology are both set to false).
I can check later in the course to see which role (path) the learner selected and this lets me present a microbiologist with a microbiology scenario and a botanist with a botany example:
