Building a Branching Course

What you'll learn

• Using Questions to split the learner's path
• Success and Failure transitions for Yes/No branching
• Adding Click Transitions as in-page shortcuts
• Designing non-linear journeys through a course

From linear to branching

In the previous video we built a simple course — page, lesson, test, in order. Here we turn that into a course that branches, so different learners take different paths based on how they answer a question.

Questions and transitions

A Question element has two transitions:

• Success Transition (light blue) — where a learner goes after a correct answer.
• Failure Transition (red) — where they go after an incorrect answer.

Remove the default connection between two elements, then point each transition at the element you want.

Click Transitions

Inside a page, you can add a link like "Click here to start the test." A small black link icon appears next to it — that's the Click Transition. Connect it to any element to give learners a shortcut.

Try it yourself

Open one of your courses, add a Question, and see where the paths take you.
