I feel like I’m doing my future self a big favor and saving even more design time! Here’s how you can do that, right in the scenario block:Īnd when my scenario block is perfect, I like to save it as a block template so I can quickly reuse it in my current course or in future courses.

Pro Tip: I like to preview my scenario from the beginning just to make sure everything is flowing the way I want it to. The choice is yours and the creative options are endless.
Or, you could gradually lead them down a path until they reach the end of the scenario. This gives you loads of flexibility, so you can do things like loop learners through a scene until they select the correct answer option, as I did. To change that, just link to a different piece of content or to another scene. With all of your content in place, you’re ready to add branching by using the Go to menu to specify where you’d like the learner to go next.īy default, learners are taken to the next piece of content in the scene. You can also type or copy in text for answer options and feedback.ģ. Now you can type or copy in text content for your dialogues or informative text.

In my example I used a mix of both types dialogues to simulate a conversation and informative text content to reinforce feedback. Whichever option you choose, you can still offer learners multiple paths to take through the scenario. From there, you can choose between dialogues and informative text content. Start by clicking the Add Content button. With your scenario block inserted and your scenes customized with the perfect characters and background, you’re ready to add content, pop in text, and add some branching.ġ. I also found the perfect character for my scene, Ammon, right in Content Library 360. I found the perfect backdrop for my scene right in Content Library 360, but you can upload an image of your own if you’d like. To customize your scene, click either Edit Background or Edit Character. Now you’re ready to customize your scenes with Content Library 360 characters and a background image.

To add a scene, just mouse-over your scenario block and click the Edit button that appears. For example, in my project, I used three scenes to align with the three skills I needed my learners to practice. But if you want to build a branching scenario, you’ll want to add more scenes to your project so you can change characters and backgrounds and branch to other content based on the learner’s choices. If you’re planning to build a linear scenario, you might find you only need one scene for your project. Scenarios are made up of scenes that are, in turn, made up of content.

TRINA THE ONE SAMPLED SERIES
I use linear scenarios when I need to help learners explore a series of sequential steps or practice applying a simple process. You’ll see two types of scenarios: linear or branched. Scenarios are one of my favorite ways to immerse learners and give them a safe space to practice applying a new process, or to explore the nuances of performing their jobs.
