This easy to use tool allows you to create branching scenarios with all the immersive elements and interactivity ThingLink provides. It\u2019s a ground-breaking new way to create scenario based learning that also has data metrics built in. Now course creators can see step-by-step the journey that each participant took through the course in the downloadable data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A quick recap &#8211; The ThingLink Scenario Builder&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ThingLink Scenario Builder is a tool to create scenario based learning (SBL) experiences with all of the immersive and interactive multimedia elements that ThingLink provides. Your learning material is created by linking your ThingLink content via strategically placed multiple choice blocks, enabling you to plan multiple branching paths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compulsory questions with correct answers and discrete feedback can be added for all important knowledge or compliance checks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/scenario-builder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More information here.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ThingLink Scenario Builder has 4 \u2018Blocks\u2019 which enable you to connect your ThingLink scenes however you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Clone<\/strong> a Scenario!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Recreating multiple modules can be time consuming and many of our creators said they would like the ability to clone an entire scenario. It\u2019s here!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply click the \u2018Clone Squares\u2019 and a cloned copy will be in your account. To ensure there are no duplicates made without permission, this incredibly useful feature is available to the creator of the scenario only.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Helpful Tip! <\/strong>Please note that this doesn\u2019t clone all of the Thinglink scenes that have been placed within the Scenario, if you edit them, you are editing the originals and therefore wherever they are used or embedded. If you wish to create cloned ThingLink scenes you will need to clone the originals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Add a t<strong>ime limit function <\/strong>to complete the whole Module!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In our earlier 2022 updates we added the feature to add a time limit to \u2018blocks\u2019. This was useful for putting realistic time pressures on making choices. This time limit can now be added to the scenario as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Read more about the ThingLink Certified Creator Course <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/blog\/thinglink-certified-creator-course-is-live\/#.Yp9OfxPMJTY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And even more updates!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023 we launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/blog\/new-thinglink-scenario-builder-templates-for-effective-employee-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Four Scenario Builder Templates<\/a> to give you a helping hand getting started with your scenario structures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024 we also added some groundbreaking AI Assistant Tools that provide extra help in creating your scenarios. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/blog\/thinglink-scenario-builder-new-improved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love your feedback, please do get in touch with us to schedule a demonstration of the ThingLink Scenario Builder in action or to provide feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can contact the team at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/learning-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ThingLink learning center<\/a> &#8211; the place for inspiration, support, project ideas, tutorials and so much more!
