Tailored eLearning module based on pre-test results - How would you go about designing this?
Hi all!
I am in the pre-design stage of a new eLearning solution for my organisation and so far, we are clear we want to create an eLearning module that starts with testing the users knowledge and then returns a 'personalised' eLearning module for the learner to complete, based specifically on the results of their pre-test.
Effectively, a tailored eLearning module to help bridge their specific learning gap(s).
Platforms like duo-lingo come to mind, where the app knows what you got wrong beforehand and focuses your next few activities around that particular topic, if that makes sense.
I know I need to start the course with a pre-test / pre-quiz, but I have no idea where to go from there. Has anyone done something similar in the past? if so, please do share any ideas, hints and tips on how to approach this project. I will be forever thankful!
You could use one T/F variable per pre-test question to track whether the user answered incorrectly (keep default value of False) or correctly (adjust variable to True). How you proceed with that info depends on the type of content and how it is organized.
For example, the content associated with each question could be put into its own scene. Those scenes could be accessed via a custom-menu slide. You could program that slide to require users to complete the scene(s) associated with the incorrectly-answered questions.
It's also possible to program NEXT buttons to skip certain content based on the specified condition(s), such as whether a T/F variable =True or =False.
It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more info:

Thank you Judy, that's really helpful and gives me a great head start!
