What you'll learn
- How to use text variables, true/false variables, and number variables
- How to set up conditional logic
- How to integrate variables with other features such as states, layers, sliders, and master slides
- How to plan out the logic in advance and how to troubleshoot when things don't work as planned.
- How to use variables to set up points, badges, personalization, custom navigation, and dynamically changing content
Requirements
- You'll be most successful if you have experience using Storyline, especially triggers, states, and layers.

- To use the practice files, you'll need Articulate Storyline 2, 3, or 360. (The last activity can only be done in 360).
Description
Once you’ve mastered all the basics in Articulate Storyline 360 (slides, media, states, layers, triggers, and quizzes), it’s time to take your skills--and your courses--to the next level. You can do that with variables. But mastering variables can be elusive for many. What can variables do? How do you know if you need them? How do you set them up properly?
In this course, you’ll have a chance learn just how powerful (and not so intimidating) variables can be. You’ll learn when to use text variables, number variables, and true/false variables with real-world examples such as personalizing a scenario, adding badges and points, as well as customizing content and navigation.
You'll walk step by step through nine examples (three of each type of variable) moving from simple to complex. Throughout these activities, you'll learn how to enhance your e-learning course with personalization, gamification, conditional logic, dynamic content, and more!
The course takes 6 to 9 hours to complete, which includes watching the 3.5 hours of video demonstrations and completing the practice activities yourself.
