You can use examples in both classroom training and elearning. They don’t have the open-ended complexity of traditional simulations, but they use a branching structure to create a simulation in a much shorter time frame than more complex or game-based simulations.

In video games, cutscenes are short, non-interactive scenes that “cut away” from the action. We can borrow this technique from video game design when we develop branching scenarios for learning.
