The SkyPrep Studio feature allows you to add branching forms and assessments to your courses. For instructions on creating a new Studio Document, you can click here.
If your platform has AI enabled, you can jump to AI-powered branching content creation by clicking here.
Once in your Studio Document, select the Branch Form Content Block from the side panel and click on Create a Form Block.
Choose whether you want to create a Form that uses solely questions and responses, or Scenario, which allows you to use text and dialogue options to simulate interactions.
Form Style (Manual)
Give the form a name and click on Add Question to Start.
On the next panel, you can start building out the form.
Question: Use this field to enter the question that the Learner will be answering.
Attach Question Image: Allows you to attach an image to the question if required.
Question Type: Toggle between Multiple Choice, which is shown here, or Text Input, which will be explained in the next section.
Multiple Choice Option: Use this field to enter an option that the Learner can select if the question type is Multiple Choice.
Question Behavior: Determines what happens when the question is answered. You can choose from Proceed to Next Question, Jump to Another Question, and End Form.
Proceed to Next Question: If answered, the user will be taken to the next question in the form.
Jump to Another Question: If answered, the user will be taken to the question number specified, allowing the form order and contents to change dynamically based on the answers.
End Form: If answered, the form will be considered complete. This is also the behavior of the last question in the form if Proceed to Next Question is selected.
Feedback: Text feedback that is shown to the user after they select this answer.
Delete: Deleted the selected answer option.
Add Option: Adds an additional answer option.
If Text Input was selected, the panel will look like this instead.
Rather than selecting predefined options, Text Input allows Learners to enter the answers themselves. To configure a Text Input question, enter the word(s) that Learners should enter in the TEXT ENTERED IS field. If there are multiple correct options/variations, you can separate acceptable answers with a comma. For example, you can enter "red,white" and both "red" and "white" will be accepted.
After entering the text, you can choose the behavior of the question by selecting from Proceed to Next Question, Jump to Another Question, and End Form just like you can with Multiple Choice, as well as opt to provide Feedback.
Clicking Add Branching Option will add another TEXT ENTERED IS field, allowing you to take Learners down multiple paths based on their answer.
You can also define what happens when a non-supported answer is given with the ALL OTHER CASES menu, which also lets you choose from Proceed to Next Question, Jump to Another Question, and End Form.
Scenario Style
The Scenario style block allows you to create a more interactive form, utilizing Text for context and information, and Dialogue for interactions.
The Text option can be selected in the Scene Type dropdown. This will allow you to add text to provide user with information, context, feedback, or anything else you need the Learner to know while they move through the scenario.
After entering the text, you can choose what happens—End Scenario will finalize the scenario and submit the results, while Continue will take users to another area of the scenario. If Continue is chosen, you can specify where the user is taken using the dropdown menu below.
The Dialogue option under the Scene Type dropdown lets you create interactive scenes where the Learner selects the proper response for given dialogue. Enter the dialogue response in the text field, and set where the Learner will be taken if the response is chosen using the Action dropdown.
Click Add Response if you need to add additional dialogue choices.
To help you track each scene's content, you can add text to the Internal Label. This text will appear in each scene's summary in the Scenes panel—these labels will not be visible to your Learners and are only used to help you keep track of each scene during the Dialogue creation process.
The right panel allows you to choose an avatar that the Learner interacts with during the exchange. Use the Industry dropdown to select the avatar clothing style that should be used. You can also add a Background by using the dropdown to select either a solid color or an image.
Next, select the actual avatar from the provided options.
The Character Expression dropdown selects what facial expression should be used by the avatar.
Scenario Style (AI-Generated)
SkyPrep's AI can help you generate a Scenario Branching block. Select the Branching option then click on Generate with AI.
Select the Scenario option.
Fill in the form text blocks.
In Scenario, describe the situation that you want your learners to experience, such as what is happening, why it's occuring, and who they're interacting with.
Learning Objective is used to describe what learners should practice or learn via the scenario, such as conflict de-escalation or processing refunds.
Additional Instruction allows you to add supplementary information, such as refund policies or expected communication chains.
On the right side, choose the avatar you want the Learner to interact with, and describe the background location you want included.
For all fields, we recommend being as detailed as possible.
Click Generate once you're done.
Once you're done, wait for SkyPrep to generate the document.
The Scenario will be created and you can freely edit it afterwards.
Viewing Responses
To view Learner responses, you can click on the Review Learner Attempts button in your document.
Alternatively, you can click on Required Grading in the Studio section of your platform.
