Working With Scenes

A scene is the main component of a training, it divides the training into different sections and contains the training objects.

Basics

A scene is the main component of a training, it divides the training into different sections and contains the training objects.

When you edit a Training, you see an overview of the Scenes contained in the Training in the main panel.

trainings-scenes-basics

With the help of scenes, you can divide your training into different sections that you can combine into a sequence. You can also easily create branching sequences in 3spin Learning and thus implement complex storytelling in a course. You can create up to 99 scenes in a course.

The individual scenes appear in the form of a scene column.

trainings-scenes-basics-menu

The scene column consists of the following elements:

  • Name of the Scene
  • Objectives button, which displays the set Training objectives of this Scene in the side panel
  • All objects that are already added to the Scene
  • The Add Object button, which allows you to add more objects to the Scene
