Is there a maximum amount of scenes and variables in one storyline file?

Hi all, 

I'm working on a client project and they'd like one storyline file as the deliverable. Within this file will be 40 modules (40 scenes) of about 7-10 slides each. Most modules/scenes will have variables and some scenes will include video (although not many). 

Before going too far down this road, I'm hoping I can get some information on limits to the number of scenes or variables in one storyline file (if any) and any other possible issues that might arise with a large file size.

Thanks!

Jessica

  • Phil Mayor had a slide with over 700 variables once.  I’m sure there is a limit, but I’m equally certain that you will far exceed good pedagogical principles long before you reach it. For example, 40 modules in one file. Just my opinion, but I don’t think even Job would have that much patience.

  • The limitation maybe the LMS with resume data. If you have a lot of videos in this authoring will slow to a crawl. Perhaps split them up

    We need to build a 90 min course that breaks into 52 different learning paths. The learner would enter and select their assigned path and move through 90 min of basic training with scenarios and knowledge checks.

    Can something this complicated be built in a single storyline course?
