Visual layout of the scenario
Many existing SBL scenarios are presented to students using either slides containing scenario cues, or as a vast amount of written text describing a case study and providing questions to answer. Neither of these are visually appealing, and there is only one path to travel through them as they flow linearly from start to finish.
The PBL scenarios produced by SBL Interactive can present information and objects within visual concept maps, providing a neutral indication of which object to explore next. This encourages the user to explore the scenario rather than just follow a list of tasks to do. This method of presentation also allows for multiple paths through the same scenario, there can be more than one way to solve a problem.
