Transform passive training into active, decision-based learning with Branching Scenarios: Gamify Your eLearning — a practical short course for intermediate learning designers who want to create interactive experiences that stick.
Branching scenarios put learners inside realistic situations where their choices matter. Instead of clicking through slides, they navigate workplace dilemmas, face real consequences, and build decision-making skills in a safe environment — just like a "choose your own adventure" for professional development.
In three focused topics, you'll learn the proven step-by-step method for designing branching scenarios from scratch. From identifying critical decision points to mapping branches, writing realistic dialogue, and delivering powerful feedback, you'll build the skills to create engaging, impactful learning experiences across any industry.
You'll learn to:
- Design realistic decision points that mirror workplace challenges
- Map branches using visual tools to manage complexity and flow
- Write authentic dialogue and plausible choices that engage learners
- Deliver meaningful consequences and feedback that reinforce learning
- Implement and refine scenarios using authoring tools and pilot testing
Perfect for anyone who wants to move beyond quizzes and lectures to create learning that feels real, relevant, and memorable.
Because people don't learn best by reading. They learn by doing.
