Branching Scenario: 3 Examples to Spark Your Creativity
H5P’s Branching Scenario is a fantastic way to introduce immersive learning to your Brightspace course. This tool has been a favourite amongst designers for years, and it’s now available to All-New Creator+ users right in Brightspace!
Branching Scenario is unlike any other H5P interactive. It includes a powerful editing platform that can create complex self-directed learning experiences. It can be used for applying knowledge to a situation or as a mini module for displaying content.
To welcome Branching Scenario to the All-New Creator+, we wanted to showcase a few examples. Hopefully these interactives inspire your own course design!
Situational assessment
As the name implies, Branching Scenarios are commonly used to apply learning goals to a scenario. It challenges learners to apply what they’ve learned to a “real-world” situation.
Just as importantly, Branching Scenarios can help learners understand the consequences of making mistakes so they can avoid similar errors in real life.

Dynamic presentations
When used with H5P Course Presentation, Branching Scenario can create dynamic and visually appealing content. Designers can design their own slide show and add branches that take learners along unique paths.
