eLearning Approach: Knowledge and Confidence
Hi Everyone -- I'm very new to creating eLearnings. I am looking for examples or trainings on how to create and elearning where learners are asked to demonstrate their knowledge and confidence in that knowledge and then directing them to the spaces where they have low knowledge and low confidence vs having them review all content.
For those who are familiar with the ATD elearning options, this follows their approach. I simply do not know how to build this in articulate.

Welcome to the Articulate community, JenGarant!
Storyline can do what you want. You'll have to get comfortable using variables, conditions and states (oh my!).
"Demonstrate their knowledge" is typically done via graded questions. You insert those from the New Slide dropdown:
You can also create freeform graded questions. Here's info about those: Storyline 360: Converting an Existing Slide to a Freeform Interaction | Articulate - Community
To check someone's confidence level and then adjust their path through a course requires more programming. These posts might get you started.
These are my posts about related topics. The TIPs include file with a demo and instructions.

The User Guide article about Triggers. It includes info about conditions. I also added the link to the full Storyline User Guide TOC. That's a great place to get basic info.

If you get stuck on some aspect along the way, I suggest you start a new discussion to ask about that specific issue. That's more likely to be spotted by those of us who answer questions. And it makes it easier for others when they're searching for the answer to the same or a similar question.
For future reference, troubleshooting will also be easier if you upload a .story file. Here are the best practices for uploading a .story file:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace
proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text. - Be sure to clearly describe the following in the file and/or in the post with the
attachment (if you haven’t already done so): What you want to happen, what is not happening that should happen, what is happening that should not happen, what you have already tried.
Good luck!
Thank you! This is super helpful! I'll start with the resources you mentioned above.
