Optimize learning time and effectiveness by implementing adaptive techniques to personalize learning and enhance engagement.
SimGate has numerous built-in branching options to customize the experience for your learners.
Branching
Branching Triggers
Any inputs captured by a decision within a SimGate project (assessment, eLearning, or simulation) can be used to determine where to guide a participant next.
SimGate tracks learner behavior:
Visited - if the participant visited the branch
Visited count - # times the participant visited the activity
Inputs and clicks - capture decisions, rationale, &
responses
Flexibility
No limitation on the number of branches
Easily create branches via drag & connect in the flow editor
Highlight pathing by mouse hovering
Branching Types
Linear - uses branching scenarios in simulations to create customized learner experiences.
After an activity, you can branch the learner into different paths based on the answer options they selected.
This flexibility enables you to tailor the simulation to meet specific learning objectives and provide a more personalized learning journey.
Wire-flow Branching - enables you to create branching within the simulation round, allowing for unlimited connections between states, remediation use, and/or revisiting previous sections or activities.
As shown in the screenshot, there are no limitations on the number of branches you can create.
You can effortlessly create branches by dragging and connecting elements in the flow editor, and easily highlight pathing by hovering your mouse.
State - utilized for fostering adaptive learning within an activity, this feature facilitates the creation of personalized learning experiences.
In the example screenshot, the activity incorporates perspectives from the learners' peers and offers various courses of action.
Upon selecting a course of action, each individual encounters customized reflective parameters on the next screen and can then be guided along a separate learning path, tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
Remediation - allows for the revision of a previous section or activity.
In the provided screenshot, an assessment is displayed, where the learner is granted three chances to pass the test.
In case of failure, two options are available: restarting the entire simulation or redirecting the learner to a personalized feedback message.
This feature ensures that learners have opportunities to reinforce their understanding and improve their performance.
Video/Conversation Branching - allows you to create linear or complex branching flows within the activity.
The learner can practice making decisions in adaptive conversations.
This activity can incorporate avatars or videos, tracks learner decisions and paths, and provides real-time error checking and validation for accurate and effective branching.
Personalized feedback - is crucial for adaptive learning as it ensures that the learner comprehends the learning objective and receives guidance on how to enhance their performance.
By providing targeted and constructive feedback within the simulation, learners can effectively apply it to their learning experience, resulting in improved knowledge retention and skill development.
HOW TO?
If/Then Logic (based on choices, actions, or scoring) - Within the wireflow, you can implement if/then logic to guide learners toward personalized feedback or remedial activities.
This can be determined by their choices or actions in the previous activity or their received scores.
In this screenshot, the learner is guided from their scenario activity to another state where they receive feedback from their director corresponding to the answer they chose.
