Storyline 2: The Job Interview Branched Scenario
Here's an example of a branched scenario created with Articulate Storyline 2. The path varies depending on how you answer the questions.
As you advance through the interview, keep track of how you're doing using the progress meter along the bottom of the slide.
Test it out and let me know in the comments below, were you able to land your dream job?

- I really like this branching scenario Nicole. In particular, having 3 options to choose from is perfect - any more and it may have been too confusing.
As I was progressing through the scenario, I actually learnt a lot from the answers to the questions. The one question I'm never sure how to answer is the one about my weaknesses. I chose the wrong answer - and the explanation helped me to understand why this is not the best answer. It also gave me insight into how I could be answering this question in the future.
For such a short and simple scenario, I think this is quite powerful at meeting the objective it sets out to meet.
Thank you!- Thank you for your great feedback, Dianne. I really appreciate it.
I also learned a lot about interviewing while I was putting this together, I used Google to research top interview questions and how to best answer them (and also found great examples of how NOT to answer them, which helped me too). Stay tuned, I'll be writing a blog post soon about how I created it and lessons learned along the way. :)
- A really simple but engaging scenario. I'm building a branching scenario at the moment and will use your example for inspiration. Thank you
- Thanks for the comment, Andrea! Really glad this can be helpful :)
- Great branching scenario. Is there a possibility to get these source files to see how everything works under the hood??
- Working on it now... Coming soon!
- Great job, Nicole.
Looking forward to your blog post.- Thank you Sam! Much appreciated! I did write a blog post about how I built this scenario, which is located here: http://bit.ly/1zFw1Ss
And I'm currently working on adding the scenario template to our Downloads and giving a more in-depth look at how I built the progress meter.
Stay tuned!- Hi, Nicole! Your example is briilliant. I'm going to use your example to build a scenario-based interaction to show how choices, in a virtual 'project' environment have an impact on meeting the deliverable due date (or not making it at all). Your progress meter is great! How's work coming on the source file downloads?
- I really liked how you personalized the scenario by having users enter their name. Making it personal engages the audience. This framework can be used in a number of ways. I have an upcoming project that this format would be great for. I plan on referring back to this frequently while I build it. Thank you for sharing.
- Nicole, this is awesome.
I loved the way you designed this scenario.
Looking forward to your sharing of the story file.
Something I observed about the progress meter is this: the triangular indicator flashes when I clicked at the feedback slide. Is it possible to remove that?- Thanks Andy! Yes I have also noticed the triangle flashing and it's due to the triggers. There are about 60 triggers on the master slide so I think it takes a brief moment for the system to run through all the triggers and then update the triangle indicator, and that's when we see the flash. I haven't yet been able to come up with a simple solution to get rid of that, but if anyone has ideas, I'm all ears! :)
- Oh and BTW, just in case you missed it, the story file is now available here: https://community.articulate.com/download/storyline-2-branched-scenario-template?page=1#comment-20890 :)
- Great example Nicole! I like how one can recover from a 'poor' answer.
- LOVE the progress bar. Great work.
- Just starting out with e-learning. Big ideas...a little intimidated by the vast pool of possibilities. This post came right on time. Thanks for the simple, yet effective example of branching. And...I got the job!!
- I'm also a newbie to eLearning . I love the look and feel of your scenario, in particular having the learner enter their name and employer of their dream. I have read your Blog on how you put this together, and downloaded your template. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me.
