Steps to set a Page to evaluate a Custom Variable and when it equals the required value to trigger an Enable Next Player Control action.

In this use case, we have three buttons on a page and we want to know that all three have been selected before we allow the learner to leave the page. Before this lesson we set up actions so that as the leaner clicks each button a custom variable is increased by 1. Once all three buttons have been clicked the variable's value will be 3.

Steps to set up a Show Action where the learner will click on a button to show another element on the Page.

This exampe uses a Button but any element can be set up as the item the learner will interact with, including text elements, image elements and more.

Similarly, this example Shows an image element but any element can be selected as the Target of the Show Action. You can also select multiple elements as targets, to Show more than one thing at a time.

After you've set up an Action you can change the Trigger at any time.

Steps to set a background (fill) color on an element.

Setting a background color can be used for many visual effects.

In this example, we have a text element over an image and it's difficult to read the text.

We can add a background or fill color to help the text stand out more.

Giving the background color a slight transparency allows the image to still be seen through the text element, which can be an interesting visual design effect.

You can use a button to set a Boolean variable to True or False. In this example, we're setting the Variable to True to track that the learner competed the Page by using the Return To Menu button. We can then evaluate the Variable's state on other pages and use it to trigger other events.

By default, each test question has a weight of 10 points.

This weight (points) is used to calculate the learner's score as a percentage to determine the test score which is sent to the LMS (in the case of a SCORM, AICC or xAPI package).

You can set custom Weighting for individual test questions according to the level of importance you determine the question should have in the overall marking scheme.

Note: If you set a custom weight for a question, it’s a good idea to let learners know so ...

Steps to add a Paragraph Element to a Page.

The name of this feature can be confusing, as it suggests a Body Type element. Although it is added as a Body Type, you can change that to any other Type.

A Paragraph element is different from other text elements because Paragraph elements have a unique set of special effects that can be applied.

Because of those effects, the formatting options are more limited for a Paragraph element than a regular Text Element.
