ScenarioGen - Educational Scenario Generator

What is ScenarioGen?

ScenarioGen transforms course content into branching scenarios where students demonstrate learning by making decisions. Choose a preset theme, describe your own scenario, or upload a case study to build an immersive, scored assessment around your content and learning objectives.

Key Features:

Student as Protagonist: First-person narrative puts students inside the scenario
Application-Based: Students must apply concepts, not just recognize them
Branching Paths: Decisions lead to consequences that reinforce cause-and-effect thinking
Automated Scoring: Every choice is evaluated against your scoring criteria
Instant Feedback: Outcomes explain why each decision was right or wrong

Scenario Setup

Scenario Type *

Preset Theme — ScenarioGen creates characters and the story in the chosen setting (Healthcare, Space, Business, etc.)

Custom Scenario — Describe your own characters, setting, and situation. ScenarioGen will preserve your details and fill in the rest.

Case Study — Upload an existing case study. ScenarioGen will follow its characters, setting, and plot as the narrative foundation.

Upload File (PDF, TXT, DOCX, MD)

Learning Objectives * Enter what students should be able to DO after this scenario. These will become the basis for your scoring criteria below.

Scoring Criteria (2-5 required) *

These are the specific concepts ScenarioGen will build decision points around. Each criterion becomes a scored checkpoint in the scenario.

Start by copying your learning objectives above, then simplify each one into a short concept label (e.g., "Team communication effectiveness" rather than "Students will be able to analyze team communication").
