Hello all. I’m brand new to Evolve. Having searched I cannot find anything on it having variables (Like Captivate and Articulate) or a similar function. Presumably it doesn’t have such a function? Fair enough considering its ease of use, but just wanted to check.

What I am trying to achieve is a learner selects some MCQ (or similar) answers at the beginning of a course. At the end their choices are presented back to them. Any ideas gratefully recieved!

> By default Evolve will register Completion when all components have been completed. If you are using your Evolve course with a Learning Management System then it will register the course as complete when all the components have been viewed and/or answered. Tailoring your completion to listen for specific interactions can be achieved in a number of ways. At a macro level this can be by using any or all of these in combination: The Course Attainment Extension The Achievements Extension The C…
