Going Out on a Limb with Branching Scenarios

In real life, the correct answer is often not as simple as a yes or no. More often, it’s the series of small decisions we make each day that add up and play off of each other to make the big things happen. For instance, think about the way you behave when you want to be health-conscious. It doesn’t so much matter this time that you eat that break room doughnut, but if you make a habit of it, it will add up. But if you make more good decisions than poor ones, you’re health will trend in a better direction. Your good decisions will embolden you to make more, each playing off each other and having big results in the long run.

A lot of eLearning knowledge check interactions opt to format their questions in a binary (yes/no) or multiple-choice style, focusing on the individual questions rather than the aggregate. Those formats certainly have their place, but every once in a while, it pays to look at a whole scenario, one that can take learner’s down different paths depending on the decisions they make. In these situations, it pays to use a branching scenario.
