At the end of the sequence you would use a Redirector Connector page that displays text and an image if required with a button. Click on the button and the learner is taken to the specified destination Page ID, thus enabling the author to return the learner back to the main flow of the project.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Scenario Connector - this is a bit of a monster of a page. It is designed to allow the creation of complex scenarios, by building a project with many Scenario pages, each page representing one scene or situation in the scenario. Each scene can have props in it. Both props and scene can have actions associated with them. Actions can have conditions that define when they are available and have outcomes that define what happens when an action is taken. Outcomes range from incrementing or decrementing one of three available scores, to changing the state of props (Carried, hidden, dropped etc), to being taken to a different scenario page. Scores have maximum and minimum values each of which if required can trigger an "end of scenario" situation with display of the appropriate messaging.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><div><p class=MsoNormal>The connector pages open up a tremendous amount of potential.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Kind regards<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Johnathan<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
