Dynamic Variable Storage: Store learner decisions or scores for later use
Capture what learners do — and use it to tailor feedback, scenarios, and outcomes throughout the course.
What It Is
Dynamic Variable Storage is a powerful smart feature that tracks learner inputs (like quiz scores, button clicks, role selections, or typed responses) and stores them behind the scenes as variables. These variables can then trigger personalized feedback, unlock specific slides, control branching paths, or influence what appears later in the course.
Unlike static content or one-off interactions, this logic gives your course memory — enabling adaptive, intelligent learning experiences.
When to Use It
- In role-based training, to tailor scenarios and content based on initial learner role selection
- For decision-based simulations, to reflect past choices in later outcomes
- In sales or customer service training, where early inputs change how customer interactions unfold
- For certification prep, to track performance over time and adapt questions or feedback
- In gamified courses, where points or scores affect unlocks, badges, or ending screens
Why It Works
- Enhances personalization by responding to learners’ own actions and preferences
- Increases engagement with experiences that feel relevant, responsive, and immersive
- Improves retention by creating contextual learning that builds on prior decisions
- Boosts ROI with flexible course templates that adapt to multiple roles, paths, or outcomes
- Supports real-time feedback that’s dynamic and performance-based
Impact Insight
Imagine a learner choosing their department at the start — and the entire course adjusting to fit their role, their skill level, and their decisions. That’s adaptive learning that actually adapts.
Examples in Action
- Healthcare: A learner selects “Nurse” as their role — all examples, case studies, and assessments shift accordingly throughout
- Finance: Previous quiz scores are stored to provide summary feedback at the end — including weak points for review
- Retail: Early choices in a customer interaction scenario resurface later, showing the consequences of empathy (or lack of it)
- Manufacturing: Equipment selections from earlier are used to display personalized troubleshooting instructions
- Education: Teachers who indicate their grade level at the beginning receive aligned classroom management examples throughout
Customization Options
- Variable types: text, numeric, boolean (true/false), custom scores, roles, scenarios
- Storage & recall: stored locally in the course or reported via SCORM/xAPI
- Trigger logic: slide jumps, state changes, feedback messages, or dynamic content swaps
- Visual feedback: personalized summaries, end screens, dashboards, or learner name integration
- Design layouts: responsive layouts that shift based on variable combinations — from single-screen changes to whole path redirects
