A storyboard scenario is a branching interaction mapped out in a storyboard that places the learner in a realistic situation, asks them to make a decision, and shows the consequence of that decision. It is the primary storyboard element for developing judgement and application-level skills.
Why it matters#
Scenarios are where an e-learning storyboard shifts from information delivery to practice. A well-designed scenario puts something at stake — the learner must act, not just read — which activates the same decision-making process the job requires. Mapping the scenario in the storyboard first ensures the branching logic is coherent, the feedback is meaningful, and the development team understands every path before building anything.
