index page with status

Question

Hi all,I'm building an eLearning and I have build an page that will function as a index page. Now my client asked me a few things and wanted to know if that is possible.Lets say the eLearning will have 20 slides and the index page is slide 4. Now on every slide I will have a button that jumps you back to slide 4 (the index), but in a way people should be able to go back to the slide that they came from. SO if they jump from slide 20 to 4, they should be able to jump back to 20.I'm assuming I will have to work with actions like "       &#127;j     ump to previous page" but i'm not sure what would be the nicest way to do this without confusing the user.My other question is this. On that index page you can show hide a few layers. You can view the structure of a cow, skin, skeleton etc. but every item will be discussed in the eLearning. So I made toggle switches to show hide the layers. Works perfect! next to the switches are the names of the items Skin, Skeleton etc. as text fields. Now skin will be discussed on slide 5 till 10 for ex ample and skeleton will be discussed in slide 11 till 15. Now the clients wants these text fields to link to those slides (no problem) but when you come back to the index (with the back to index button as mentioned above) He wants the text to have a different color, so that the user knows which subject He/She already checked. Is this possible to build?Any tips or help is more than welcome!

And after every part, the second slide in that part is a question. The user should get 3 attempts to do this. Now I have the first question done as a custom drag and drop. It was showing me a feedback after submitting, but it doesn't show it to me any more.

The wishes from the client for these questions types are:

- 3 attempts

- Can the user see what He/She did wrong after 3 attempts? (specially with a drag and drop, not sure how to do this) I told him this can be done with a review at the end. But He wants the user to see it immediately after 3 attempts. The review is only for the exam questions.

Not so complicated , you just have to set up the custom navigation. There are some tips:

Use a next (shape) button that is timed for the rest of the project, always on top, starting with the first slide of the first Chapter. Make
Make sure that the pausing point of that button is not before the pausing point of the D&D slides which you use as KC slides.
Hide the Next button On Enter for each D&D slide
Set the Last Attempt and Success actions to Show the Next button again, but jump immediately to slide Chapter1. I would create a shared action for this purpose. The Last Attempt event is wrongly indicated as Failure (it only is done after the last attempt). Do this for the first 3 parts of each chapter.
For the 4th part set up those same actions bit different, because you'll have to
1. Jump to the index slide
2. Enable the next Chapter button on the index slide
3. Change the state of the just visited chapter
4. Since you'll need this several times as well, I would also create a shared action for this purpose. You can use the first shared actions as template to edit and add the necessary commands.

As for the other question about D&D. you'll need to use the object actions to track the attempts. Review will never show the correct answer for a D&D slide. You'll have to explain this in some way after the last attempt. Have a look at this blog post:

Which version are you using? This is important, because I would recommend to use multistates for the Text fields. Create a second custom state for them with the different color., will label that state as 'Visited' Use the Back button on each part to launch a shared or advanced action that will have two commands:

Change state of TextX to Visited

Jump to IndexSlide

For your first question, you'll have to use teh command 'Go to the Slide Last Visited'. Be careful not to get the learner in a loop. Avoid confusing by a clear label on the button. Personally I would prefer offering the TOC with the option "Enable Navigation" enabled, and perhaps 'Navigate Visited Slides Only". It would require an understandable labeling of all slides and grouping/part.
