Personalizing E-Learning #441: Challenge | Recap
Why Should I Learn to Use Variables?
Great question. Articulate Storyline's core authoring features (states, layers, and triggers) are the building blocks that make it easy for virtually anyone to create interactive e-learning.
But when you want to create more personalized learning experiences, you’ll need to know how to use variables.
Using Storyline’s variables, you can present dynamic content based on your learner’s activity and other defined conditions. Variables can store learner input and use the information to present personalized content based on specific criteria.
