Video tutorial
The following video shows what Branching scenario may be used for and how to make one:
Step 1: Title
Start by adding a title. The title will identify the content in the list of H5Ps and won't be visible for the user.
Step 2: Add new content
You start with an empty canvas.
To create content - drag content type from the left menu and drop on a dropzone - this will load the content type editor.
When the content type editor loads - create content as usual.
Step 3: Add branching logic
Branching Question will determinate the branching logic.
Create question by dragging "Branching Question" and dropping it on available dropzones
Add as many alternatives as you want. Each alternative will send the user down the different path.
Step 4: Specify what should happen if an alternative is chosen
There are four possibilities:
The user will see a new content
Drag a new content below this alternative
The user will see a new Branching Question
Drag a new Branching Question below this alternative
The user will be sent back to some of the existing branches
Open “Branching options” group and under “Special action if selected” choose “Jump to another branch”. Then select a branch you want to jump to
The scenario will end here with a custom feedback and optionaly - score
Open “Branching options” group and under “Special action if selected” choose “Custom end scenario”. Then fill in the “Feedback” group below. If you leave the "Feedback" empty - the alternative will lead to the "Default end scenario".
Step 5: Add existing content
You don't have to create content from scratch. You can use existing H5P content in Branching Scenario.
To copy existing content: Open the content you want to copy, select "Copy" at the top
To copy content created in Branching Scenario: Click on the "Settings" icon next to each content and select "Copy"
To paste content from the clipboard - Drag “Paste” from the left menu and paste it to a dropzone
Step 6: Feedback
After each alternative is selected, or after each content is viewed - you can provide optional feedback for the user.
For the user - the feedback will appear after he/she selects an alternative or views the content
If “End scenario” is chosen - the feedback will show on the end screen
Step 7: Intro Screen
This is the introduction screen where you can introduce your course.
To configure: Go to settings and fill in "Configure starting screen" section
Step 8: Scoring
Branching Scenario provides 2 types of scoring. The score will appear on the End screen after the user reaches one of the end scenarios. Configure the score under "Settings/Behavioural settings/Scoring options". Types of scoring:
Statically set score for each end scenario (default)
The author gives points for each end scenario.Dynamically calculate score from user answers
The author gives points for each content and for each alternative inside branching question. The final score is calculated as a sum of points the user earned until he/she reached the endNo scoring
Upon reaching the end - the user will get only feedback
Step 9: Legend
If the alternative is set to jump back to an existing path - a two arrow icon will appear next to it. Click on this icon to see where the alternative will lead.
If the alternative will end the path - it is marked as an outlined circle (if no end scenario is set) or with a flag (if end scenario is set).
You can always access "Legend" by clicking the "Quick info" at the top right part of the canvas
Step 10: Preview
You can preview your content:
from the beginning - by clicking on the "Preview" button in the top right corner or
from a specific node - by clicking "Spart preview" in the node menu
Step 11: Full-screen mode
Click on the icon in the top left corner to open Branching scenario editor in full-screen mode.
