The challenge
Storyline is a powerful authoring tool, but it has limits. When a client asked for a course with an interactive assessment, I saw that the project needed functionality beyond what Storyline offers. Scenarios also give learners a richer experience than standard multiple-choice questions.
This demo uses a fictional patient, biomarkers, and drugs. The client project is confidential.
My role
Instructional design, Storyline development, and custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the assessment.
Process
- Task analysis: broke an oncology patient's story into a sequence of decision points.
- Storyboard: wrote one question per decision point and embedded pathology slides where learners needed to review them.
- Prototype: built a web page that embeds a slide viewer in a scored assessment, then linked it into Storyline.
- Review: walked through the prototype with the SME and revised the questions as needed.
The solution
Four patient journeys, each presenting a patient's history and 6 to 8 case-specific questions. The demo below shows one fictional journey with single-answer, matching, and select-all questions, a running score, and feedback after every question.
