About branching in Breeze Presenter presentations
Before adding e-learning content to presentations, consider using branching in your quizzes,
questions, and surveys. Branching is an important concept in creating effective e-learning
materials and is an excellent way to customize presentations. Branching (sometimes called
“contingency branching”) means that the path a user takes through the program is determined by
responses made to questions. For instance, you can create branches in response to correct answers,
incorrect answers, an option selected by the user, or based on the users’s experience, job category,
level, or any other category. You have many options for answer paths including continuing the
presentation, going to a specific slide, or opening a URL.
Creating quizzes and questions
You can design many different types of questions such as multiple-choice, short answer, matching,
true or false, rating scale (likert), and fill-in-the-blank. Questions can either be graded or be
surveys that gather information.
By setting up branching, you determine what happens when users answer questions correctly or
incorrectly. For example, you can set one action (such as “Go to the next slide”) when a user gives
a correct answer, and you can set a different action (such as “Open URL”) when a user gives an
incorrect answer.
Reporting lets you track student performance with any type of quiz. Track the number of
attempts, log correct and incorrect responses, and send pass/fail data to Breeze. You can also
choose to provide students with specific feedback based upon correct or incorrect responses.
