The technology chosen by my team is H5P branching scenarios<\/a>. At the heart of this technology, we see scenario-based learning (SBL). On her blog<\/a>, Kokoulina (2019) defines SBL as, \u201c\u2026 an immersive training environment where learners meet realistic work challenges and get realistic feedback as they progress since everything that happens reflects the learner\u2019s choices\u201d. I would venture to add, that the word \u2018work<\/em>\u2019 could be replaced with other verbs such as life<\/em>, worldly<\/em> or personal<\/em> and cover a broader range of learning parameters.<\/p>\n

For me, branching scenarios and at a deeper level, SBL offer a tool to explore a digital technology to reach online learners. My focus is to bring a realistic, empathy-based, digitally embedded tool into online courses for secondary students who struggle with anxiety and depression. Can branching scenarios be that tool? Is there a place for scenario-based learning in mental health literacy for youth?<\/p>\n

The literature is heavily weighted in healthcare usage of simulation teaching (Al-Elq, A. H.,2010)<\/span>. However, it was becoming clear as our team navigated the research, more and more work is being done with branching scenario technology outside of healthcare. Not just in terms of how to make it cheaper and easier to use (Bell et al., 2008), but how it works within learning frameworks (Battista, 2017) and how the brain responds to learning through simulations (Cardoza, 2011). Scenario-based learning is a fascinating field; I can already see the myriad of potentials and pitfalls and look forward to exploring them in greater detail in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
