  • Create a T/F variable with a default setting of False. This will be used to track whether the learner will continue in the default "read" mode (False), or has chosen the "listen" mode (True). For example, you could call this variable Listening.
  • For whatever button the learner clicks to choose "listen," add a trigger that adjusts Listening to True. 
  • On each slide, you'll need two triggers:
    • Trigger to show the "read" layer when the timeline starts with the condition that Listening = False. 
    • Trigger to show the "listen" layer when the timeline starts with the condition that Listening = True.

BTW, if the user is allowed to switch back and forth, you'll also need a trigger that adjusts the variable back to False if the user switches back to "read" mode.

Here's more info on conditions and variables;
