Overview
Scenario-based learning puts learners in realistic situations where decisions matter—and branching creates consequences that reinforce learning. This advanced course teaches L&D professionals to design and build sophisticated interactive scenarios that go beyond simple linear content.
You’ll learn scenario-based learning design principles, create branching structures and decision trees, use variables, states, and conditional actions, implement scoring and adaptive learning paths, and report scenario outcomes to your LMS. Whether you’re training for complex decisions, soft skills, or compliance scenarios, you’ll create experiences that change based on learner choices.
Format: 1 Day | VILT
