ScenarioSplice is a no-code authoring tool for building branching training scenarios — short interactive lessons where a learner faces a decision, picks a path, and sees the consequences play out. You build a scenario as a visual map of connected pages, where each page presents a situation and the choices the learner can make. The editor lets you drag, zoom, and rearrange pages to see the full decision tree at a glance. When the scenario is ready, you click Assign and get a shareable link you can send to your class, paste into Canvas or Google Classroom, or email to your team. ScenarioSplice runs entirely in the browser — no installs, no downloads, works on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones. It is built for educators, instructional designers, trainers, and L&D professionals who want to turn "what would you do?" moments into practice opportunities.
Click + New Scenario from the header. ScenarioSplice opens with a decision-tree template already in place: an intro page that sets up the situation, a decision page with two choices, two outcome pages (one for each choice), and a debrief page that summarizes the learning. Click any page on the map to edit its text. Mark pages as correct / partial / incorrect so learners see clear feedback. Add images — diagrams, photos of real-world situations, screenshots of the field you're teaching. Add or rearrange pages as needed. When the scenario reads well, click Assign to publish and get the shareable link.
The scenario map is a visual canvas where each card represents one page in the scenario — a passage the learner reads, ending in a set of decisions. Colored lines between cards represent choices — the options a learner picks to move from one page to the next. Cards with a green indicator are starting pages; cards with a colored left border reflect the feedback type you've tagged (green for correct, red for incorrect, amber for partial, blue for informational notes). Click a card to edit its page. Right-click for a context menu with add-child, test-from-here, and delete. Click a line between cards to edit the choice text or change where it leads. Drag cards to rearrange, scroll to zoom, drag the background to pan. The map updates in real time as you work.
Feedback types are a per-page tag that tells the learner — and you — whether a page represents a correct path, an incorrect one, a partial-credit outcome, or an informational note. When a learner reaches a tagged page, a colored pill appears at the top of the page (Good call, Not quite, Let's review, or Note). On the scenario map, pages with feedback types get a colored left border so you can see at a glance which paths represent desired vs. undesired outcomes. Feedback types also feed the coming gradebook — when per-learner tracking ships, correctness will aggregate from these tags automatically.
Facilitator notes are a private textarea per page, visible only to the author. Use them for anything that shouldn't reach the learner — the learning objective behind the page, the source you cited, the expected facilitation time, notes to yourself about what to revise next. When you share the scenario link, facilitator notes are never rendered. They travel with the scenario when you export or duplicate, but they're yours.
AI is optional and positioned as a drafting helper, not the author. Open any page in the editor and click Write to have the AI draft the page text from the surrounding context. Use Rewrite to tighten existing text or adjust tone. Use Suggest choices to have the AI propose correct-and-plausible-but-flawed decision pairs for the page. Every suggestion appears in an accept-or-reject bar — you decide what stays. The AI understands it is drafting a training scenario, not a novel, so the tone is concrete and educator-voice rather than literary. If you prefer to write everything yourself, just ignore the AI buttons — the scenario editor works perfectly well without them.
Yes. Every page supports an image with alt text for accessibility. Today you paste a hosted image URL; an upload button is coming shortly so you can drop in diagrams, photos of real-world situations, or screenshots directly. Alt text is required so your scenarios remain accessible and LMS-compliant. Images appear both in the editor map (as thumbnails on the page card) and in the player (above the page text).
Click Assign in the editor toolbar. ScenarioSplice validates the scenario (flags missing pages, broken links), publishes it as unlisted (not listed in the public library), and opens a modal with a shareable URL. Copy the link and paste it into Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoology, an email, a Slack channel, or wherever your learners go. Anyone with the link can play the scenario in their browser — no sign-in required. You can revoke the link at any time from the same modal. Per-learner tracking and gradebook export are in active development; for now, you can use the aggregate analytics view once enabled.
Yes, though ScenarioSplice shines brightest for decision-based scenarios rather than pure recall quizzes. The same editor supports both. A linear quiz is just a scenario where each page asks a question, feedback is shown based on the answer, and the path continues to the next question. In an upcoming release we'll add explicit quiz-mode features — choice shuffling, question numbering, a running score — but for many educators the base feature set already covers quiz use cases.
Yes — scenarios are private by default. They remain private until you click Assign, which publishes the scenario as unlisted (accessible to anyone with the link, but not listed in the public library). If you want to unlist a scenario again, click Assign → Revoke link. Nothing you write is shared with other users, and AI drafting requests are routed through OpenRouter which does not retain prompt data after the response is generated. Images you upload are stored privately until you share the scenario link, at which point anyone with the link can see them.
Currently ScenarioSplice does not collect any personally identifiable information from learners. A learner follows an assigned link, plays the scenario anonymously, and no name, email, or identifier is stored. When we add the gradebook feature — letting you see per-learner performance — participation will require the learner to enter a name (or for you to preset a class roster). Retention windows, deletion policies, and a "don't collect names" scenario-level toggle will all be in place before any of that ships. For anything closer to FERPA-grade — student accounts, grade passback to an LMS — the LTI integration will layer on top of your existing LMS's privacy controls, not ours.
Free while we build. Unlimited scenarios, unlimited assignment links, full editor access, AI drafting assist, images, feedback types, facilitator notes — all free during the early-access period. When we introduce paid tiers, it will be for advanced features like gradebook export, class rosters, and LMS integration. The core authoring and assign-a-link flow will remain free.
Yes — you can export any scenario as JSON at any time. Your content is yours; we don't believe in lock-in. A single-file HTML export (a self-contained scenario you can upload to an LMS that blocks external links) is coming in a subsequent release.
Check out our sibling product StorySplice — same underlying editor, same accounts, same auth — but tuned for fiction authors rather than educators. Choose-your-own-adventure stories, branching novels, game-style narratives. If you accidentally landed here looking for that, the sign-in works there too.
