The feature that I have been studying is creating
Conditional Actions in
Advanced Actions. For the training that I want to design, I want my users to be able to read a coaching scenario and then select the answer that represents the correct type of coaching style for that particular situation. There would be 2 or 3 answers to choose from. I would like to create a
jump to slide action for each answer that would explain to them why the answer they chose was correct or incorrect. This will in turn coach them to be a better coach. To do this I would create a Conditional Action for the answers. If they chose answer 1 then the action would be to jump to the number 1 explanation slide and so on. The slide the answer jumps to would take them into another scenario. These
Advanced Actions are located under the
Project menu.

| Variable Creation Screen |
I am first going to create a variable for each question. On the Project Menu I will select variable and then click add new. I will call the variable Coaching1. I will then go to the Project Menu and select advanced actions. I will choose the action name answer1 and assign it to the variable Coaching1 with a literal of 1, I will do this for each answer.

I will go back to the screen with my coaching answer and select the answer button 1 and select
Execute Advanced Actions. I will be able to set up the conditions to
the correct actions for the choices the user makes. This tool, if I
can master it, will be very useful in my conversational scenario
training. It allows for the user to have interactions based on their
choices and gives them options to recover from an initial bad decision
just like the real workplace. If the choose a wrong answer they will
see possible consequences and be able to make new choices based on their first decsion. I think Adobe
Captivate 8 is a fascinating tool. If I am able to do what I think I
can do with it, I may ask to purchase it for our Human Resources
department.
