Software eLearning creation
Hi all,
I work in the NHS (Healthcare) and design clinical systems software eLearning. Most of the courses have multiple roles, so the eLearning is tailored and relevant to different people.
I feel it is very dry as it is walking people through how to use the systems and how to enter patient data in the correct place.
I am struggling to get my head around scenario based eLearning when we have multiple roles within the one course.
I am looking for inspiration and any examples of how to build more engaging software eLearning for end users.
Any help, ideas or suggestions would be great.

VickyAttridge: I think CherylStGermain's suggestion about branching is a good one. That would allow for maintaining the shared content in just one course and for providing role-specific scenarios.
FYI: Here's a post about branching in Storyline. It includes a file that demonstrates and explains the programming.
You will need to use variables and conditions. It’s worth the effort to learn about them, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more information:
- This post provides an overview of variables. It also links to numerous resources. The Value of Variables | E-Learning Heroes
- The User Guide article about triggers includes info about conditions.

Have you thought of having the learner choose their role at the beginning of the course and then have the course branch out from there? so basically an introductory slide that goes to different chapters of the course based on a variable selection?
