Flow Chart Redesign
Scenario Interactions
Engage Audiences!
Static flowcharts are rarely engaging, and can be difficult to process! Making it interactive helps learners think more critically at each step!
Avoid Decision Fatigue!
Working through static flowcharts, tracking the path, wondering if you got it right. . . this can be challenging! Making flow charts interactive reduces the number of decisions facing the learner at any one time, and shepherds them through the decision process.
Scenario Based!
When faced with a fork in the flow chart, the learner must take stock of their situation and make a decision. This means less time and energy trying to figure out how it works, and more time learning and reflecting!
