💕 Story Overview

Scenario-based learning and branching scenarios can be effective in teaching complex skills that require critical thinking and decision-making. When designing branching scenarios, it is important to focus on specific behaviors and provide realistic feedback. Simplifying complex topics and making them concrete can empower learners to apply knowledge effectively. Using AI tools can help generate ideas and choices for branching scenarios, but human oversight and editing are necessary. Christy's MAGIC?
