Custom Slide Progression: Enable linear, branched, or open learning paths

Create structured, flexible, or fully personalized learning paths — because one-size-fits-all doesn't work in modern training.

What It Is

Custom Slide Progression allows you to define exactly how learners move through your course: in a strict sequence (linear), by making decisions that shape the path (branched), or by exploring freely (open navigation). This feature replaces rigid course flows with purposeful flexibility — tailoring the learning experience to your content, your goals, and your audience.

It’s not just about where learners go — it’s about why and when they go there.

When to Use It

  • For compliance or onboarding, where all content must be completed in order (linear path)
  • In scenario-based training, where decisions lead to different outcomes (branched path)
  • For exploratory learning, where learners choose the order that suits them best (open path)
  • In product or service training, where different roles need access to different content
  • When designing personalized learning experiences, based on user type or prior knowledge

Why It Works

  • Improves engagement by matching the course flow to the learner’s context
  • Boosts retention by enabling learner control or decision-based consequences
  • Reduces training time by skipping irrelevant sections through smart logic
  • Enhances user experience by providing clarity, structure, or freedom — depending on the goal
  • Drives better outcomes by aligning navigation with instructional intent

Impact Insight
Imagine your learners only seeing what’s relevant — or navigating their own path through topics they care about. That’s less friction, more focus, and better learning outcomes.

Examples in Action

  • Healthcare: Linear compliance training for HIPAA, branched simulations for patient communication
  • Finance: Advisors follow a guided path, while managers explore optional leadership modules at will
  • Retail: Store associates can skip to sections relevant to their department
  • Education: Teachers explore curriculum tools in any order during professional development workshops
  • Manufacturing: Operators complete safety in sequence, then freely access troubleshooting videos

Customization Options

  • Navigation Types: Linear (slide-by-slide), branched (logic-based), open (menu or grid navigation)
  • Logic Layers: Combine with variables, user role filters, or pre-test results
  • Progress Tracking: Locked/unlocked indicators, progress bars, or achievement badges
  • Design Layouts: Tabbed views, clickable maps, accordion menus, or scenario trees
  • SCORM/xAPI Compatible: Full tracking of learner paths, completions, and choices
With Custom Slide Progression, your course becomes as smart as your learners. You get structure where it’s needed, flexibility where it’s powerful, and better results all around.
