Course branching in Rise 360
UPDATE : Alas, the solution below has an issue if it includes Quizzes.
I did a quick sample course with the set up shown below. It works fine for Path A. However, after passing the Path B quiz, Rise says I can't continue unless I pass the Path A quiz. In other words, it seems to have restricted navigation, even though navigation is turned off. I have reported this as a bug.
But, for now at least, a branching course can't include Quizzes. If questions are required, one could use Knowledge Check blocks with a Lesson that require the user to answer correctly. That's klunky, but it would work.
AnnaPalacka: If you need the quiz data, that's not doable in Rise. Rise only lets you designate 1 Quiz for tracking.
If you only need to know that someone passed their Quiz (but you don't need the score or any other data), you could create a nonlinear course.
First, you'd have to turn off the standard navigation buttons and the menu.

In the first lesson, use a Button Stack block to steer users to the Lesson in their path.
- Another caveat: You won't be able to track which path each user completed. You'll have to trust that they chose the appropriate one.

You'll also need Button blocks to advance users from one Lesson to another. If a given path includes more than one Lesson, there should be a Button block at the top to return to the previous Lesson.
At the end of the last (or only) Lesson in a path, a Button block should take the user to the corresponding Quiz. Adjust the settings so the user has to pass the Quiz to proceed.
Because the navigation for a passed Quiz only goes to the next Lesson, each path needs a closing Lesson. For example, this could be a short note congratulating the user for passing. I suggest that it also stress they must click the final button to submit their completion.
All of those final buttons should link to the actual final Lesson used for tracking completion. That final Lesson would have a Storyline block with a completion trigger. When you publish the course, that completion trigger would be used for tracking.

To (hopefully) clarify what I mean, here's how a branching course with two paths could be set up:
