In the world of eLearning, branching scenarios have emerged as a powerful tool to amplify employee engagement and real-world decision-making skills. By allowing learners to “pick their own path”, these scenarios mirror complex situations, making learning deeper and more memorable. Dive in with us to discover how the ThingLink Scenario Builder can be your secret weapon in designing these transformative learning experiences.

The Magic of Branching

Ever reminisced about those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? Branching scenarios function similarly. Learners are presented with situations and make choices, with each decision leading them down a unique path. This interactive method boosts decision-making skills, critical thinking, and retention.

ThingLink Scenario Builder: Branching Made Easy

Navigating the terrain of branching might seem complex, but with the ThingLink Scenario Builder, it’s as intuitive as it gets. Its user-friendly interface supports the creation of intricate paths, ensuring that each learner’s experience is tailored and impactful.

360 images for virtual tours

360 images are essential for creating interactive virtual tours, virtual field trips and virtual exhibitions. With the discontinuation of the Google Street View Camera app, ThingLink has developed a mobile-friendly alternative through its groundbreaking addition to its suite of tools. Our game-changing conversion solution Pano to 360 allows you to effortlessly create immersive experiences using 360-degree photosphere images, using just your mobile phone.

Gone are the days of needing a specialist 360 camera or equipment. Previously, capturing 360-degree images required a 360 camera like the Ricoh Theta z1 or Insta360, along with a monopod or tripod. Now, you can easily convert panoramic photos taken on an iPhone or any Android mobile device for use in a virtual tour, thanks to ThingLink’s new feature.

Example of a 360 guided tour created with iPhone 12 and ThingLink

Get inspired by taking a guided tour through a co-working space in Helsinki. Immerse yourself in the converted 360 photosphere, originally captured with an iPhone 12 Pro Max on the panorama setting and converted into a 360-degree photo in ThingLink. Click through or scroll around the embed below.

Join our webinar to find out how to create 360 images with your smartphone and ThingLink
