Branching content

Course content can be customized to appear for specific learners based on defined parameters, enabling a more personalized learning experience. For instance, by asking learners if they are managers, you can display specific content exclusively to those who answer "yes."

This makes use of the question data slide, click here to read more about it. 

 

Note: It's recommended to complete editing and finalizing your content before setting up the branching elements of your course.

Variable Name	Add a variable name, which will store the user's response. Choose a clear, descriptive name so you can easily identify and reference it when setting up the branching logic.
