Lucia Salters
Lucia shared a decision-making gate that asked learners to confirm their scenario choices or return to make a different selection. This is a practical approach for a lot of the courses we design in corporate e-learning.

Blair Parkin
Blair took things in a creatively different direction by overlaying ribbon-styled gates over the in-slide video. While this approach is more subtle than the others, it’s an ideal solution that keeps the learner in the moment. Blair also shared his source files in this forum thread. Thanks, Blair!
Joe Deegan
Joe added a playful admonition into his shark-infested gate example. Be sure to view the minimum number of videos or Snuffy gets it!
