In my opinion the next big step for Storyline is to have tools that help create custom menu slides and facilitate non linear learning. But, these don't exist yet, so this might be helpful:
- create a variable called something like Quiz 1 complete, make it a number variable and a default of 0
- on the last quiz question add a trigger that is conceptually like - when the user clicks the submit button change the value of Quiz1 complete to 1 (instead of the default 0)
- Back on your main menu slide add a trigger that is conceptually something like - at the start of timeline, if quiz1 complete variable = 1 then change the state of your scene 1 button to visited or disabled instead of normal
In the example here - there are 3 chapters or scenes, 1 = Set up, 2= Equipment, and 3 = production. The user would select any button and it will take them to that scene with a dozen or so slides describing that content. On the last slide in each scene I add the type of variable described above, and a button that says return to main menu. When the user returns to the main menu, the menu slide has that variable trigger that says change state of button to visited if variable =1.
So as you see here, the student has already visited the set up scene, and would now choose Equipment or Production to continue in the course
