Most development tools are designed with primarily linear content in mind. It’s often possible to create nonlinear or branching content, but that isn’t the primary purpose of the tool. That means building branching scenarios can be clunky, cumbersome, and time consuming. What if you had a tool that was designed just for creating branching scenarios?

In this webinar, Christy Tucker  (LinkedIn profile) Instructional Designer, Syniad Learning will demonstrate how to build branching scenarios with Twine.

Twine is a free, open-source tool designed specifically for creating interactive stories and games.

You can use Twine for planning and writing a scenario, creating functional prototypes, or for more polished final products.

Christy will start with a live demo of building a simple branching scenario prototype from scratch so you can see how quickly you can publish a functional learning experience.

Next, you’ll see several options to enhance scenarios with additional features like scoring and conditional feedback. I’ll also share examples of how Twine can be used for different types of scenarios, such as chat simulations and games.

You’ll learn how to:

• Get started in Twine, even if you have no prior experience
• Create branching scenario prototypes quickly
• Use Twine story formats to change the appearance and features
• Enhance branching scenarios with variables, scores, and conditional feedback
• Build chat simulations quickly in Twine

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

Bonnie will review:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction

ChatGPT, Open AI, Language processing – these are all trendy buzzwords, but the truth is that the technology is here to stay. The good part is, you don’t have to be technical to reap the benefits of this technology, you just need to follow a few simple guidelines.

This session, led by Global Creative Director at simpleshow, Aaron Alpert (LinkedIn profile) is going to share best practices that will help you create impactful storytelling videos that will enhance your training and improve both engagement and retention – all using AI technology to do the hard work for you!

Studies have shown that people retain 65% of information shared via a story compared to only 10% of information conveyed through statistics. 

Storytelling is proven to significantly improve the effectiveness of training – but people often hesitate to use it because they don’t know where to start or how to create a story. Now with the right prompts and best practices, you can easily leverage AI technology to help create a story your audience can relate to.

Join Aaron as he shares the secret formula that will help you (quickly and easily) add storytelling to your training tool box.

Attendees will:

• Discover the benefits of using video storytelling as part of their training program
• Learn the formula to apply while using open AI technology to get usable and impactful scripts
• Uncover simple best practices that make using this technology easy and fast

In today’s post-pandemic world, yesterday’s L&D strategies are falling short.

Cultural changes including a remote/hybrid workplace, the new “metaverse,” and the expectation of knowledge on-demand have forced learning strategies to change. Innovations including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), microlearning, video-based practice, and machine learning (ML) are getting better results, so you need to be prepared.

If you haven’t been asked already to implement these newer strategies, expect it. The only question is, how will you adapt to this environment and work with these technologies in a practical way?

Join three heavy hitters: John Blackmon (LinkedIn profile) Chief Technology Officer, ELB  (formerly eLearning Brothers); Stephen Baer (LinkedIn profile) Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, The Game Agency (a division of ELB Learning); Geoff Curless (LinkedIn profile) Chief Revenue Officer, Rehearsal, these speakers with different areas of expertise can share exactly how to handle these technologies and processes with grace and ease!
