Streamlining Branching Scenario Planning & Design

Featuring Learning Experience Design Consultant Christy Tucker

Branching scenarios are a great solution for giving learners an opportunity to practice making relevant decisions. However, building branching scenarios can be time-consuming and challenging.

For example, if the first decision point has three choices, and those three each have three choices, and then those three have three choices, suddenly you have 40 slides after only 3 decisions for the learner.

The complexity of that structure grows exponentially and can be hard to manage as an instructional designer. Additionally, Subject matter experts (SMEs) who are accustomed to working on traditional eLearning may be uncomfortable with branching, and you may be unsure how to get good stories and examples from them.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed in the process of planning and designing branching scenarios.

In this webinar, you will learn how to streamline your processes for branching scenarios, from initial planning through writing and creating a functional prototype.

In this session, you will learn:

  • What questions and tactics elicit relevant stories and examples from SMEs
  • How to use Twine for planning, writing, and prototyping branching scenarios
  • How giving learners, the opportunities to fix mistakes can streamline branching design
  • How to use different branching structures for scenarios
  • What to write first in a branching scenario
By the end of this session, you will have a streamlined process for planning, designing, writing, and prototyping branching scenarios that can be built in any authoring tool you want. Your new streamlined process will help save time and make the complexity of branching scenarios more manageable!
