What this lesson covers

  1. 01

    The decision is the slide

    CEPD Module 1 chose formats for practice. Module 4 directs scenario formats: branching dialogue, 3D dialogue scenes, and avatar-facilitated intros — each must force a choice with consequences, not a lecture with clicks. Mayer’s personalization and voice principles apply to dialogue tone; Merrill’s application principle means the branch must map to a real job decision.

    Explainer vs scenario

    Explainer slide: “Here are five policy bullets.” · Learner clicks Next. · Success = reached end.

    Scenario slide: “Customer asks for an exception — what do you say?” · Learner picks a branch. · Success = professionally preferred path + feedback.
