The question data slide presents the user with a multiple-choice question and uses their answers to populate variables for branching courses or to capture demographic data.
Adding a question data slide
To add a new slide, click + Add Page and select Slide.
Now select Question Data as the slide type and click Add Page.
Configuring the question data slide
| Question Text | Ask for the information you want to establish e.g. "Are you a manager?" |
|---|---|
| Variable Name | This is the name of the variable that will be populated by the response. Give this a descriptive name so you can easily reference it elsewhere in branching logic. |
| Answer | This is an option that will be presented to the user when they're asked this question. |
| Value | This is the value that the variable will be populated with. This won't be seen by the learner and could simply be the same as the answer. |
| +Add Answer | This button lets you add additional answers. The order of the answers can be adjusted using the arrows. |
Using Question Data for Branching
Responses from question data slides can be used to branch course content:
- Configure your question data slide and set a Variable Name (e.g. "UserRole").
- The variable is populated when the learner answers the question.
- Use the variable in branching rules on subsequent pages (e.g. "Show this content only if UserRole = Manager").
See the Branching Content article for detailed instructions on setting up branching logic.
