Branching scenarios can be a pain to design. Happily, you can use a simple tool called Twine to easily draft the scenario and produce it. In this post we’ll look at a scenario that I wrote to demonstrate Twine’s basic features and to make a point about teaching through stories. In the scenario, you’re a journalist in a hurry to get to a hot story in Zekostan, and your “guide” can’t speak English or drive. You have to quickly learn the necessary Zeko terms to navigate the roads and respond to events along the way.

Twine: a tool for creating interactive stories
Create your own interactive stories with Twine, the same tool used to produce the stories on this Web site. Think Visually Twine lets you organize your story graphically with a map that you can re-arrange as you work. Links automatically appear on the map as you add them to your passages, and passages with broken links are apparent at a glance. As you write, focus on your text with a fullscreen editing mode like Dark Room . Rapidly switch between a published version of your story and the editable one as you work.Elearning example: Branching scenario
You’re a US Army sergeant in Afghanistan. Can you help a young lieutenant overcome cultural differences and make a good impression on a Pashtun leader? That’s the challenge behind “ Connect with Haji Kamal ,” a decision-making scenario that my cool client Kinection and I developed for the US Army.
