ATD Dallas Q4 2026 Learning Technology SIG

Hosted by Jonathan Tipps

Note: This webinar involves a two-step registration process. First by registering on this website and the second on Zoom. See additional details below.

Most development tools are designed with primarily linear content in mind. It's often possible to create nonlinear or branching content, but that isn't the primary purpose of the tool. That means building branching scenarios can be clunky, cumbersome, and time consuming. What if you had a tool that was designed just for creating branching scenarios?

In this presentation, you'll learn how to build branching scenarios with Twine. Twine is a free, open-source tool designed specifically for creating interactive stories and games. You can use Twine for planning and writing a scenario, creating functional rapid prototypes, or for more polished final products. We’ll start with a live demo of building a simple branching scenario from scratch so you can see how quickly you can publish a functional learning experience. Next, you’ll see how story formats can add functionality and change the appearance of a story. You’ll see ways Twine can be used for different types of scenarios, such as games and chat simulations, and how to enhance and customize scenarios in Twine.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

By the end of this session, you should be able to:

Describe why Twine is an effective tool for creating branching scenarios quickly.
Create and publish a story in Twine.
Identify ways Twine can be used for different types of interactive stories and scenarios.
Compare use cases for different Twine story formats.
