As you have seen, Storyline offers a great deal of flexibility when creating knowledge checks for your learners. You can deviate from the traditional approach and create highly interactive and frequent checks throughout your material.

Storyline includes a wide variety of pre-built question formats that you can customize easily using all the standard slide editing techniques you already know how to use. You can also create branching scenarios just by redirecting which slide Storyline should go to if the learner answers the question right or wrong.

Outside of the pre-built questions, you've seen that almost any slide can be converted into a quiz with buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, hotspots, and data entry. And almost any object can be transformed into something that can be dragged-and-dropped onto something else. This is very powerful not only for creating quizzes, but also for non-scored interactions that are engaging and fun for the learner.

You can even take it further without programming or any complexity, but leveraging the built-in quiz variables to personalize the quizzing experience based on learner actions. And when it comes to reinforcing key concepts and messages, you have an unlimited variety of ways to provide this through feedback messages that are context-sensitive based on how the learner answers a question. Pretty cool stuff.

More information on quizzing techniques can be found in Chapter 11, Rapid Development. Next, we'll turn our attention toward some very interesting features that will help you add sizzle to your story!
