I have tried the search box but no luck - my course contains information slides, a drag and drop and a quiz, then some more information. On the last slide, how do I 'end' the course, & close, so that users know the course is over.
Good idea to give learners a sense of closure. What I'll sometimes do is create an "exit course" button. When setting the triggers for a button, you'll notice there is an "exit course" action.
If you have an evaluation, you can always create a link to that and then at the end of the eval thank them and let them know they are finished with the course. Let me know if you have further questions. --Daniel
You could create a "thank you, you're done" slide with a button that says "Exit Course" and then assign the trigger action to be "Exit Course" when the user clicks. This will pop up a confirmation warning to close the window. If the user clicks OK the course window will close.

"That brings us to the end of this module, many thanks for your time and attention.
Please now close the browser, or you can use the menu to go back and review anything you want to go over again.
Once again thanks for your time, and you can now go back to your real job, and be much more effective at doing it".

OK - I made the last sentence up - but it is kind of what I'd like to be true!

Ah that's great - Thanks guys!!
Hi Jamie! Looks like you got a lot of helpful ideas here
Now that you got some helpful ideas, here's a less-than-helpful idea: http://articulate-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/forum-help/ExitTheCourse-Ideas/player.html
Actually, Slide 2's clapping people is one I've used a lot over the years. The rest are just silly ideas.
Hope more people find that link David! Made my Monday morning.
Hi Duane! Whatever it takes...glad your Monday has been made
I love Ferris. That made me smile!
Thanks, Shirley. That's an old Flash trick that I inserted into Presenter. It was part of an April Fool's idea of gamifying the next button: http://multimedialearning.com/files/Jumping-Next-Button/
Dave also recommends ending with a blooper reel if I remember correctly....
We use a custom made logo with music that plays after the final test result screen or summary screen.
Super fun ideas everyone
Wonderful!
:D
