Menu item and completion of scenes question

Hello all, is there a way to enable a user to freely navigate between menu items, but require that a scene in a menu is completed before they can complete the course?

For example, we want the user to be able to jump to different menu sections, but we are aware that they can simply click on each menu item and then "complete" the training without reading the content. How can we ensure that the user has the flexibility to navigate to different menu items, but that also requires them to complete all sections fully before getting credit?

I realize I may not be wording this as well as I could... so questions are welcome.

  • This discussion has a sample that will get you started:
     
     
    The Mixed Navigation allows the various sections to be visited in any order, but does not allow going to the End until all sections have been viewed.
     
    You may notice it shows my very strong aversion to cookie-cutter courses that use the built-in menu, and look exactly like every course out there. Nevertheless, the principles can be applied anywhere. The principle is that you keep track of the section the learner has completed. Use one single point to end the course and submit completion data. Do not allow that page to be accessed until all the variables are set to a value that shows completion. You can see how the sample doesn't allow access to that page until all sections are completed. This is done by changing a variable at the end of the section. You will need a unique variable for each location that can be accessed independently from the menu.
    The attached sample shows one way to set up the end slide.
