How to pauze e-learning when you have a score system?
Hello everyone,
I made an e-learning about cyberhygiene where the user has to complete six chapters and earn puzzle pieces to complete the course. Once a learning starts with a chapter, I lock it so users cannot do the same chapter repeatedly to collect all the pieces by doing just one chapter. But when users paused the course during a chapter, they couldn't continue with the chapter and got stuck because the chapter was locked and they didn't have enough puzzle pieces in the end to continue. So I put in the settings that users cannot pause the course but must redo it when they leave and come back to avoid any issues. But now a few customers complained that they cannot pause it. So I wanted to ask this community if you have ideas on how to use the score setting, but still be able to pause without issues. I have attached the course, so hopefully everything is a bit more clear.
There's an easy way to prevent someone from getting >1 puzzle piece from a scene: add a condition to the trigger that adds 1 to the Puzzle_Collected variable.
It looks like you already have T/F variables tracking the scenes. So the "add 1" could use that to determine whether or not to award another point. Here's an example:
You could also change the message on the last slide of the scenes. For example, the text-box that says "You have collected a puzzle piece!" could have a custom state that says "You already collected the puzzle piece for this chapter."
- Use a trigger that changes to that state when the timeline starts with the condition that the associated variable = True.
- Be sure to put that trigger before the trigger that sets the variable to True. That will ensure the user sees the Normal message the first time.
