How To Question: Adaptive Learning for Storyline
I'm developing a course through Storline and need to make an adaptive learning test.
For further explanation, my need is:
If the learner skips to the assessment, they can test out of the course if they get a 100%. However, if they get questions 1,3,6, and 8 wrong (for example), then they are re-routed back to the course and only the sections that correspond with the questions they got wrong remain open for them to work through.
Is there a way to make a course function like this in Storyline?

Yes, that's doable. There are various methods that would work. Here's one way:
- Create T/F variables to track how each question was answered.
- For example, give the variables a default value of False, and use that value to indicate an incorrect answer.
- Add a trigger to the question slide that changes the variable to True with the condition that the correct answer = Selected. (Note: Be sure that trigger comes before the trigger that jumps to the next slide.)
- If the user doesn't get 100%, steer them to a custom menu slide for accessing the topics they need to review.
- That slide should have all of the topics available. However, you could mark certain topics as required based on which variables = False.
- You could also disable or hide buttons to topics for which the user passed the associated questions. But I think info should always be available for review.
- Use conditional triggers so the user can only access the "final" slide of the course if they've completed the required sections. Completion of those can also be tracked with T/F variables.)
These posts aren't exactly what you want to do. But they might provide some guidance:
- TIP: Let the user choose their path - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes
- TIP: Review and Retry Non-Adjacent Quiz Questions Without Seeing the Content Slides In Between - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes
- TIP: Create a Custom Menu Slide - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes
It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more info:
