State-Based Triggers: Trigger actions only when multiple conditions are met

Trigger the right response only when all the right conditions are met — creating layered, logic-driven learning.

What It Is

State-Based Triggers are a powerful smart feature that allow specific actions — like unlocking buttons, showing content, or submitting answers — to occur only when multiple conditions are simultaneously true. These conditions can include variables like question attempts, item selections, object visibility, slide states, or learner inputs.

Unlike basic one-action triggers, state-based logic enables complex, responsive behaviors that feel intuitive and intelligent to the learner — while giving you full control behind the scenes.

When to Use It

  • In interactive simulations, where multiple actions must be completed before advancing
  • For compliance training, where learners must confirm and acknowledge a policy before proceeding
  • In technical training, where task checklists must be fully completed before submission is allowed
  • For gamified learning, where unlocking a challenge requires the right combination of choices
  • In reflection activities, where text input and checkbox confirmation are required to continue

Why It Works

  • Drives attention to detail, rewarding learners for thoroughness
  • Boosts engagement through conditional challenges and puzzles
  • Prevents premature navigation, ensuring true task completion
  • Supports deeper interactivity, mimicking complex decision-making
  • Improves ROI by reducing learner error and reinforcing process accuracy

Impact Insight
Imagine your employees can't move forward until they've watched a video, selected the correct checklist items, and confirmed understanding — all without needing manual oversight.

Examples in Action

  • Healthcare: A surgical prep checklist must be fully completed and acknowledged before the “Start Procedure” button activates
  • Finance: A risk assessment unlocks only when users select the right combination of policies and confirm their rationale
  • Manufacturing: Operators must correctly identify multiple system faults before troubleshooting guidance becomes visible
  • Retail: Learners must interact with all hotspot areas on a product before seeing customer objection training
  • Education: Teachers complete a self-reflection and rate their confidence before unlocking a downloadable resource

Customization Options

  • Trigger Conditions: Combine slide states, object visibility, score thresholds, user actions, or variable values
  • Visual Cues: Lock icons, hidden buttons, dynamic instructions, or pop-up alerts
  • Feedback Logic: Trigger hints, reveal hidden elements, or change button states based on combinations
  • Layout Flexibility: Interactive checklists, form-style interactions, or puzzle-like progressions
  • Platform Integration: Fully SCORM and xAPI compatible with detailed tracking of state and condition logic
With State-Based Triggers, your course doesn’t just respond — it *thinks*. Give your learners more meaningful, guided experiences while keeping your instructional control razor-sharp.
