Storyline: Employee Conversation Branching Scenario

This is awesome. How long did it take you?

Very nicely done. Could you post a picture of the branching overview?

Bravo!

Hello Richard,

Thank you so much for viewing the interactive story.

So variables are what connects the decision choices to the review-of-decision slides.

When a user makes a choice, you set/assign a variable as the timeline starts on that slide or layer showing the result of the choice they made.

The variable could be text, probably better as text so it could be anything you assign it (i.e. "2a", "2b", "2c", you get the idea). You want to keep a chart or document of all of the variables you assign per decision.

When you now get to the feedback at the end, you call the variable. So change state of text box to "decision2Afeedback" when the timeline starts >> sub trigger >>(if "2nddecision_slide_variable" = "2a"

The text boxes which hold the "review of decision" feedback will have multiple states. Each one with different feedback depending on the choice that was made previously.

So it's important that you name every text box very specifically and all of your variables correspond to those text boxes.

I hope that was helpful.

Hi Eva, This is Fantastic! I'm in the middle of creating something similar for my organization, albeit much smaller (BTW I really liked how you used the labeled-speech bubble instead of callouts - which I was using - and now, I benchmarked your design.) The part I'm having trouble with is with the "review of decisions." How did you tailor the review to the branching choices. I can't seem to connect the review-feedback slide to each of the branching choices at the end of the module.

Thank you James for the feedback.

What a robust and useful experience! The dramatic storytelling element is very compelling, along with the grounded, real-life scenario and cognitive framework (STATE), which was new to me. Being new to the ID world (about half way through my MA now), I can't yet wrap my head around all the programming work you put in, but I can definitely say the UI and experience was solid. There were times when I was a little confused about which elements were thoughts, dialogue or scene descriptions, but again, I don't know how much challenging work is involved in composing this project, and I assume there was a ton. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Maki for your kind words and taking the time to view it.

Just want to say thank you, Eva, for sharing your piece. We really appreciate it--it is done very well!

I agree with other on having the story file. It's great to see what other people do but the real value of the community to me is really about helping others understand HOW the work is accomplished.
