One of the challenges of branching scenarios is that you can generate so many options and paths that it quickly becomes unwieldy. A branch and bottleneck scenario structure is one strategy for keeping the complexity manageable. Branch and Bottleneck. Traditional Branching (Time Cave).

Enrollment is now open for Build Your Branching Scenario , with the next cohort starting Tuesday, September 13. I recently completed the 8-week Building Your Branching Scenario course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about branching scenarios.

How do you estimate the required time to create branching scenarios? It’s tricky to estimate, even for me, because branching scenarios can vary widely in complexity. Overall, the best way to estimate your time to create branching scenarios is to actually do it and track your time. Track your own time.

I recently got a question from a reader about how long a branching scenario should be. Specifically, she was asked to create a very large branching scenario, and wanted to know how feasible that would be. I would love your expertise on whether you think a 45-min branching scenario sim in [Storyline] is too long.

Permalink structure. This was one of the big advantages to moving to my own site: you can’t change the permalink structure on wordpress.com. All of my posts had a structure with the year/month/date like domain/2016/10/07post-title. Now, my permalink structure is just domain/post-title. Most popular posts.

With the digital transformation, eLearning has become essential to education and training. As a result, many organizations now prefer to use custom-made modules for their employees rather than relying on traditional classroom-style learning. This is where eLearning content development companies come into play.

I have a series of posts following each step of creating a branching scenario (see the bottom of that post for links to the whole series). Someone asked me in last week’s eLearning Freelancer Bootcamp Q&A about how I maintain my blogging momentum. That’s a lot of writing. Consistent publishing schedule.

A common flaw in creating an e-learning module is to use a lacklustre outline to structure a course. By focusing on activities where the learner is thinking about their choices, you’ll create e-learning activities that don’t suck! Avoid the “Info Dump”. For example, Share learning objectives. Provide content. Actual Real-Life Practice.

In previous posts, I shared tips for managing the complexity of branching scenarios and some thoughts on how long to let learners go down the wrong path. The question is: do you restart a branching scenario from the beginning, or do you go back partway–maybe even just one single step? Back one step.
