Traditional training tells learners what to do—but does it show them how to apply it? With Scenario, you can create interactive experiences where learners make decisions, see the outcomes, and learn by doing.
Most workplace training focuses on delivering information—but knowing something isn’t the same as knowing how to use it. That’s where Scenario, Easygenerator’s new feature, comes in.
Scenario lets you create interactive, decision-based learning experiences where learners face real-life situations, make choices, and experience the consequences. Instead of passively reading content, they engage, think critically, and apply their knowledge in a safe environment.
Scenario is a branched learning tool that brings training to life. Learners step into realistic situations, make decisions, and see how those choices play out—just like in the real world.
Unlike quizzes, which check what someone remembers, scenarios test how well learners can apply their knowledge. This makes training more engaging and practical, helping employees build confidence before facing actual challenges.
Scenario-based learning doesn’t just test what learners know—it shows them how to use that knowledge in their work. Here’s why Scenario is so powerful:
Scenario works best when it’s part of a contextual learning approach—a method that helps learners connect knowledge to real-world situations instead of just memorizing facts.
For training to be effective, learners need three things:
Start by delivering the key information in a clear, structured way. This could be through:
Show how this knowledge applies in real life. Easygenerator makes this easy with:
Explaining why an example is good (or not) helps learners understand the logic behind decisions.
This is where Scenario makes the difference. Once learners understand the concept, they can apply it in a safe environment.
Let’s take an example: you’re training employees on delivering bad news.
Most scenarios offer three choices—a good, neutral, and poor response—but you can customize this based on your training needs.
Keep in mind
Providing detailed feedback at the end of scenarios is key. Whether a learner makes the best choice or not, explaining what went well and what could be improved ensures they get the most from the experience.
Scenarios are great for any training where decision-making matters. Here are some top use cases:
Adding a Scenario to your e-learning course is simple. You can create a branched scenario without any technical skills using our drag-and-drop builder.
Plus, you don’t even have to start from scratch. You can use existing layouts and customize them to your use case. Upload your background, choose an avatar, and add your dialogue and feedback.
Here’s a quick tutorial on all the ways you can create a Scenario with Easygenerator:
Scenario takes learning beyond memorization—it immerses learners in real-world situations, where they think, decide, and apply their knowledge.
By combining knowledge transfer, real-world examples, and hands-on practice, Scenario helps learners not only understand concepts but also use them with confidence.
If you’re training employees on compliance, customer service, sales, or leadership, Scenario can bring your learning to life.
