Hey Elizabeth! Can you share a little more about your project? Is the instructional goal to help learners distinguish between two of something... such as two sets of data, or two scenarios, or two skillsets, etc.?
OK - not much to go on there. Sounds like pretty linear, compliance-flavoured corporate-jargon filled stuff though. Here's my first partially sighted pitch.
Give the learner access to resources (intranet site, job aid, iOS app, Attachment, whatever) and then place them in a realistic business situation(s) where they need to make judgement calls/give advice etc. These Resources could be used post-training as job aids - so it's not wasted effort.
You could rig it up as a branching scenario with multiple branched outcomes. If tracking's a requirement, Quizmaker's a possibility and that would give you conditional branching too - otherwise regular hyperlinking to tell the 'story' or play out the scenario. Video might be nice too - although that may give you more headaches (scripting, casting, recording, editing) to lift it away from the click-read-click-thud (sound of head hitting desk) pattern that a lot of this kind of stuff falls into.
It's application of the same key learning principles - but instead of a pure knowledge dump and recall/comprehension, you get the learners to apply/analyse. Benny Bloom would be happy anyway
