Creating a quiz to test knowledge, then serve up content they didn't get right (Storyline)
Hi all,
I'm looking to create a training module in Storyline that will be rolled out possibly annually, but want to minimise the time it takes for learners, especially if they're already comfortable with the content.
E.g. I want to create a quiz at the start that tests the learners knowledge. Then based on their results, only the content they didn't get right is served up to them.
Does anyone have advice as to where I would start on this?
Thanks!

You could use T/F variables to track incorrectly answered questions in the pretest. For example: for each question, create a T/F variable with the default value of False. Adjust the variable to True if the user answers correctly.
Use those variable values to determine what content the user needs to review. How you set that up depends on the amount of content, how it is organized, and which questions determine what content the user must review. For example, if there's a custom menu leading to 5 scenes, you could use conditional triggers to require the user to view scenes associated with questions for which the T/F variable still equals False.
It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more info:

You can build adaptive modules, Think Judy gives you a great starting point on how to do it.
