Are you ready to help Josie solve The Case of the Mixed Message in this interactive story?
I was inspired by Eva Daniels and Teresa Moreno using interactive storytelling to help learner’s practice new skills.
First run with an interactive storytelling episode where Josie, a nurse leader is having a conflict with her leader Ellyn about mixed messaging. She recently took an online course on Braving Difficult Conversations. Here, she has a chance to apply what she learned, with your help.
This story contains “lifelines” which are review clues to help Josie (and you) navigate this conversation.
Are you up for helping Josie solving the Case of the Mixed Message?
Design notes:
Created my storyboard with actions to practice and decision points. I got a lot of ideas watching Shonda Rhimes Writing for TV course on MasterClass, Cathy Moore's Map It book, Anna Sabramowicz's channel, and examples others posted.
Characters:
Exported Storyline characters and poses, imported into Photoshop and applied the Posterize filter, adjust as desired, then exported as an 8-bit file to save file size.
Backgrounds: Posterized in Photoshop, same process as characters.
Decisions and Feedback:
To help streamline the development process, if the learner selects the “less good” option, the feedback lets them know what could have been better (still teaching) and moves them forward in the story.

Thank you for sharing this with us,
Hello Cydwalker,
That sounds like a really interesting and engaging way to help learners practice new skills! Interactive storytelling can be a powerful tool for helping people learn and retain information, especially when it comes to developing skills like conflict resolution and communication.
I think it's great that you're incorporating lifelines into the story as well, to provide learners with review clues and help them navigate the conversation. This can be especially helpful for learners who may be new to the topic or struggling to apply what they've learned in a real-world scenario.
Overall, I think using interactive storytelling to help learners practice new skills is a creative and effective approach, and I wish you the best of luck with the Case of the Mixed Message!
Best Regards

An engaging and useful case study for soft skills practise and feedback. Access to essential concepts from past learning for review was also highly beneficial. So it's done nicely from the perspective of instructional strategy. It's a solid beginning from the standpoint of soft skills task analysis.
I'm always ready to help by providing information, answering questions, and offering suggestions on various topics. So, if you have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask!
Absolutely! I'm here to help Josie solve The Case of the Mixed Message. Please provide me with the details of the case and any relevant information, and I'll do my best to assist Josie in cracking the mystery.
Love this Storytelling example! Well done!!! :)
