Need help creating a branching course
Hi there James! There is some experimentation with Labs called Skip-Ahead Quizzes, but it's currently in a development and feedback phase. Plus, I'm not sure if it will fully meet your needs since it still follows a linear path (it just places learners at different jumping-off points based on quiz results). Your best option for branched/personalized learning is Storyline, but this is a very robust tool that takes some getting used to.
For Rise, I might recommend using button blocks since that's the only way to link out to different lessons at this time. And then use either a common quiz or a percentage of completion to complete the course if you're tracking in an LMS.
This is still a pretty complex thing, and a bit messy in terms of LX. So if you can get up to speed on Storyline for this kind of branching work, that would provide the best learner experience. I've created a little example of a Choose Your Own Adventure course in Rise so you can see how it could work (and how it's still a bit imperfect).
