Trigger/Variable on video
I am creating an eLearning and need some help.
The first slide asks the learner if they are knowledgeable about the topic, if they are they move to the next slide and if they are not it jumps to a video about topic.
To make sure they are just saying yes, the next slide is a quiz slide, if they get an incorrect answer they are forced to watch the video.
Question: Can I set up a trigger/variable to only watch the video once.
Situation: Learner says "no" they are not knowledgeable and then watches the video but also gets the questions wrong. I don't want them to have to watch the video again.
Is there a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
You could use a T/F variable to track whether the user has watched the video.
- Create the T/F variable with a default value of False.
- On the slide with the video, add a trigger that adjusts the variable to True when the media (that is, the video) completes.
As needed, use trigger conditions that check the value of the variable to control other aspects of the course.
- For example, on the slide with the video, a trigger might change the NEXT button to Disabled when the timeline starts with the condition that the variable = False. The condition prevents the button from being disabled again if the user has already watched the video. So they could just move on from that slide.
It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more info:
