Quiz: Which E-Learning Character Are You? #218

Personality Quizzes in E-Learning #218: Challenge | Recap

Social quizzes and personality tests are a fun way to engage readers. For course designers, they’re a great opportunity to practice working with variables and designing games. For this week’s challenge, you’ll create demos based on the popular Buzzfeed personality quizzes.

Which E-Learning Character Are You?

This is a quick example I built to help you get started. Each of the six choices is tied to a variable. After all six questions are completed, we use conditions to evaluate which choice has the highest value. If two or more choices are equal, we added a random variable to determine which character appears. I’ll record a screencast tutorial to show how this works.

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to create a personality-style game based on the popular Buzzfeed quizzes. You can begin with a content library template or grab a freebie from our downloads.

If you’re new to Storyline and need a place to start, try working with basic variables including Storyline’s random number variable. Don’t worry about the design of your project as much as getting familiar with the technical basics.
