Jump from one slide directly to a layer of an other slide
Hi there!
in my e-learning I have one “menu”-slide from where the learner jumps into the various content slides and after every content slide jumps back to the menu slide.
Every time the learner...
There are a few things you will need to do to make this work.
AS Michael suggested, use a variable to track where the user has been. You will likely need an additional T/F variable as Wendy suggested to track overall course progress:
- When the user clicks a menu item to open a different slide or module, set the variable you are using to the name of the slide or module.
- Set the menu slide's property to "Reset to Initial State".
- On your menu slide, include a trigger to "show layer X" at timeline start if your tracking variable is equal to "X".
Note that since your menu slide is starting over each time to fire your triggers, you will use the T/F variables to rebuild the menu slide each time the user returns to it so that you can show progress by marking thins as complete. Something like "change state of topic Y" at timeline start if the topic y variable is = to True.
I hope this all makes sense. Happy to help further, just connect with me on LinkedIn and we can take a look together at your file.
