			Conditional Variables Variables are objects within a Lectora title that enable you to store, modify, and test values of numbers or strings during the runtime of a CD or HTML-published course. You can use these numbers or strings to conditionally perform actions in a title or set the contents of a text block.   For example, variables allow you to jump to specific actions, to display test scores, to display current page numbers and times, and to specify correct and incorrect answers and consequences. There are many uses for variables, including branching to different sections of a course depending on user preferences and custom display of information based on multiple user inputs.   Variables make it possible for you as the course author to remember what a user has done at any point in the course and to conditionally act on that at a later time.

Cisco CDN enables content service providers to store and distribute content closer to the end user, therefore eliminating bandwidth availability slowdowns and traffic control of data. The content is stored on CDN servers that are distributed locally throughout the company's intranet. When the end user needs to access those media files, they are readily available through the closest CDN server.
