Branching Scenario
Main Uses
The Branching Scenario tool, as the name suggests, presents a scenario (for example, a case), and then the learner collects and analyzes the information, makes decisions, and chooses an action. Different acts bring the learner through different paths that reach a destination, for example, a diagnosis, a conclusion, a decision, and so on. In a branching activity, learners engage with the content presented in the case, simulator, or a scene and apply their critical thinking and decision-making skills.
This tool can be used in some courses or activities that allow learners to practice skills in customer services, healthcare provision, policing or security enforcement, communication, conflict resolution, ethical decision-making, policy implementation, and so on.
