Prevent click-through until all layers have been visited?
I found a key activities slide (1.20), but it doesn't have any boxes, or anything to click. I think maybe the Key activities slide is 1.4, the Course Topics slide. There are a lot of options for navigation, so you need to define as exactly as possible what you want. If you insist on using the built-in menu (on the left), you may be able to get by using Restricted Navigation, as described here:
If you want less of a cookie-cutter appearance and more flexibility for your learners, you need to use slide 1.4 as your only menu option.
To do that, you need a method to disable the next button until all the topics have been seen, a way to enable it when all are seen, a method at the end of each topic so the system can track that it is seen, and a way to return from each topic to the menu.
Sounds daunting, but once you see it in action, it is easier than it sounds. There is a sample of it at this thread:
The Restricted part of the sample forces the learners to see the topics in a prescribed manner, while the Mixed part allows them to see the topics in any order. Neither allows them to advance until they have seen all the topics. The Free part (which I don't think you want) allows them to move on whenever they want. Restricted and Free cause a button to appear which allows them to move on, but those triggers could as easily make the Next button appear.
Hi Walt,
Thanks for looking into this!
The slide I'm referring to is the Key Roles & Responsibilities slide with the eight clickable boxes. I want the Next button to appear under the last bottom box only after all boxes have been clicked.
I'll look at the link you sent bc yes, it does sound daunting!
Thanks again,
Felice
