In corporate training, it’s not enough to simply deliver knowledge: when the goal is to change behaviors, learners need to make decisions and see their consequences. That’s why isEazy Author now includes branching scenarios—a new interactive feature that turns training into immersive experiences, where every choice makes a difference.
Branching scenarios are interactive activities that present learners with different paths within the content, depending on the decisions they make. This way, the story unfolds in unexpected ways, and learners gain a deeper understanding of the impact of their actions by experiencing different outcomes.
This innovative interactive tool lets you build a web of choices and consequences within your e-learning course. Each narrative is composed of interconnected scenes. In each scene, you can include introductory text and enhance it with multimedia resources like images, videos, or audio clips. You have the flexibility to add these manually or generate them automatically with isEazy Author’s AI tools that you already know and love.
At the end of each scene, you can present multiple response or action options. Depending on the choices your students make, they will proceed to a new scene, which may lead to even more branching paths. This allows you to craft a unique journey for every participant.
Decisions create a branching tree with as many decision points as you desire. The best part? Each path can lead to diverse outcomes or conclusions based on each student’s selections.
Branching Scenarios are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to various learning goals:
And really, any training that requires students to actively engage with the content — the possibilities are endless.
Picture a training scenario where a manager must resolve a conflict between two team members. The student is presented with the initial situation, progresses through different scenes interacting with those involved, and reaches a decision point:
Each choice leads down a different path, potentially escalating the conflict or resolving it satisfactorily. Students can retrace their steps and explore other routes, experiencing the consequences of their decisions while moving from passive observers to active participants.
Creating Branching Scenarios for your courses with isEazy Author is quick and easy. You can choose to build it manually from scratch or let artificial intelligence generate it for you from your course content.
With isEazy Author’s user-friendly interface, creating your tree takes just minutes. Add scenes with text, images, videos, and more, and define the response options to guide students along new branches.
If you’re looking to save even more time, let AI handle the creation. Simply select “Generate with AI,” and you’re good to go.
In summary, you can choose whether to maintain full control over the creative process or use AI as a co-pilot to speed up the design. Either way, you’ll have a clear, tree-shaped navigation map at your disposal, allowing you to view all possible routes at a glance and reorganize them with ease.
With this new interactive feature, you will enjoy:
With the new Branching Scenarios interactive feature, boost your professionals’ motivation and participation, facilitate practical learning that applies to their daily lives, turn theory into immersive experiences, and design more dynamic and appealing training all within the tool. Try it now and start crafting interactive stories with decisions and multiple outcomes.
Branching Scenarios are a learning technique based on decision-making within an interactive environment. Learners must choose between different options, leading to various consequences and multiple learning paths.
This method enhances knowledge retention, allows for safe practice, promotes real-time decision-making, and increases learner engagement by making them active participants in their learning process.
They can be used in various contexts, such as sales training, business decision-making, conflict resolution, compliance training, and soft skills development, among others.
To design a successful Branching Scenario, it’s important to define clear objectives, create realistic situations, offer multiple paths with meaningful consequences, and provide feedback to help learners understand and improve their decision-making.
Not necessarily. Tools like isEazy Author make it easy to create this type of content with interactive templates and branching options, allowing instructional designers to develop engaging learning experiences without advanced technical skills.
Yes. Advanced LMS platforms like isEazy LMS track user decisions, analyze progress, and provide insights into learner performance. This helps optimize training programs and improve real-world decision-making skills.
Unlike quizzes or assessments, which are linear and always follow the same path, branching scenarios change depending on each choice learners make. Instead of simply checking right or wrong answers, they show the consequences of decisions in real time. While quizzes test knowledge, branching scenarios help learners apply it to real-life situations, practicing problem-solving and decision-making skills.
They boost engagement by turning learners into active participants, improve knowledge retention through learning from mistakes, and provide a safe space to practice without real-world risks. Because every path is different, training adapts to each learner’s needs, offering realistic and meaningful experiences that drive better results.
