Training managers, instructional designers, HR leaders: your learners are making it clear. They want to engage, make decisions, observe outcomes, and improve. That\u2019s precisely what the Sentence\u00a0Choice block<\/strong> in VTS Editor enables\u2014no technical skills required. In an e-learning module, job simulation, or serious game, it turns static content into a believable conversation where the learner actually speaks and drives what happens next. For your organization, this offers a triple advantage: measurable engagement (scores, progression, badges), skills-aligned assessment, and seamless integration (SCORM export to your LMS and detailed tracking via VTS Perform<\/a>). In other words, it\u2019s a powerful lever to shift from \u201ccourses\u201d to result-oriented training experiences. Discover what the tool can do on the VTS Editor<\/a> page.<\/p>\n These instructional approaches are backed by research: the meta-analysis by Sailer & Homner (2020)<\/a> confirms the positive effect of gamification on learning; the ICAP framework (Chi & Wylie, 2014)<\/a> shows that active and constructive interaction strengthens retention; and Hattie & Timperley (2007)<\/a> demonstrate the power of immediate feedback.<\/p>\n In VTS Editor, the Sentence\u00a0Choice block<\/strong> presents a list of lines to the learner. They pick one, the scene reacts, and the path becomes personalized. You control the logic (single or multiple selection, single or multiple outputs, internal loops), expressiveness (who speaks, to whom, with what emotion, what pronunciation), and formatting (categories, randomization, conditional visibility).<\/p>\n You get \u201clively\u201d dialogue, backed by believable non-verbal communication, ready to be linked to other VTS Editor blocks (Speak, Emotion, Look, Character Animation, Score, Badge, Progress\u2026). For enhanced immersion, also explore the characters of VTS Editor<\/a> and the available sceneries<\/a>.<\/p>\n For training or HR departments, the goal is to instill new behaviors. The Sentence Choice block supports active engagement (you act, you improve), decision-making (you compare strategies), and fast feedback (character reactions, emotional adjustments, scoring). These levers align with literature on tutorial systems and pedagogical dialogue, such as Graesser et al., 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n Assessment happens naturally: each line can carry a skill-based score (active listening, assertiveness, conflict management), trigger remedial branches, and drive debriefs. The realistic scenario accelerates knowledge transfer to real situations: learners train on plausible cases, make \u201csafe\u201d mistakes, and understand the why.<\/p>\n Instructional designers see it as a no-code tool for generating realistic exchanges in minutes. Training\/HR executives see it as a universal format. Subject-matter experts co-create \u201caccurate\u201d statements and validate feedback.<\/p>\n Onboarding, compliance (safety, GDPR), sales and consulting, management\/leadership, customer relations, diversity & inclusion, workplace safety, service quality. Discover evidence of impact in our client cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n Decide who speaks and to whom. If the learner plays the role of an advisor, let them hear their own lines via \u201clearner voice,\u201d and direct character eye contact at the camera for better embodiment. Emotion helps read the situation: an empathic statement could be paired with soft emotion and a positive head nod. Conversely, a brusque reply could prompt slight tension (averted eyes, frown). Text-wise, choose short, clear statements using professional language and clear intentions (ask a question, rephrase, reframe, propose). Use voice synthesis to ensure correct pronunciation of acronyms, brands, and proper nouns.<\/p>\n Question-Answer (single selection) simulates turn-taking: \u201cI choose \/ character responds\u201d. Question Only keeps control over scripting and enables richer feedback chains. Multi-selection serves cases with multiple valid angles (e.g. check two priorities before a negotiation). Internal loops allow you to go deeper on a topic (e.g. go through all \u201cQuestions to ask\u201d before continuing).<\/p>\n The key to your branching logic. A single output streamlines the flow and moves the impact to later blocks (e.g. Speak, Score, Message). Multiple outputs per choice generate clear consequences: an awkward line may lead to remediation, an excellent one may speed up resolution. In multi-selection, sorting by overall score (positive, neutral, negative) leads to targeted reinforcement. For clarity, label outputs by intent (e.g. Choice_Empathy_Pos).<\/p>\n Assign a score to each line based on defined skills (listening, clarity, customer orientation, stress management). On the learner side, you may only display a total score\u2014or none if exploring is the goal. On the organizational side, align training with your competency framework, trigger thresholds with \u201cCheck Score,\u201d award badges, and use this data in your LMS (SCORM) or VTS Perform<\/a>.<\/p>\n Structure your choices into categories (\u201cEmpathy,\u201d \u201cQuestioning,\u201d \u201cValue Proposition,\u201d \u201cReframing\u201d). Randomization avoids position bias, unless order has pedagogical relevance. \u201cHide Selected Choices\u201d is perfect for exploration modes to avoid redundancy. With the Integral Pack, visibility conditions and variables unlock advanced options (e.g. reveal an \u201cexpert\u201d line after a good decision, hide irrelevant options).<\/p>\n Having the learner\u2019s chosen line spoken aloud enhances embodiment. Visually, fix the position (left\/right column) to keep reference points stable. Think accessibility: readable fonts, sufficient contrast, short sentences. For mobile, test in 16:9 and ensure tap targets are comfortable.<\/p>\n Three to five options per step is enough. Each option should represent a distinct, plausible strategy: empathic, factual, assertive, exploratory, and sometimes intentionally suboptimal but realistic. Take a B2B pricing objection: a ROI-driven approach (\u201cLet\u2019s measure return and gains\u201d), a contained concession (\u201cLet\u2019s adjust the scope\u201d), miscalibrated firmness (\u201cThe price is fixed\u201d), an exploration line (\u201cWhat are your budget priorities this year?\u201d). Avoid \u201cobvious traps\u201d\u2014your learners are pros, learning comes from subtle distinctions.<\/p>\n The choice is only the beginning. Plan the reaction (Speak), emotion (Emotion), gesture (Character Animation), and consequence (Score, Badge, Progress). If an answer is less optimal, offer concise and useful remediation (Message, resource link, internal loop to retry with a clue). Use variables\/flags to track selections for later personalized debrief.<\/p>\n Non-verbal makes a difference. A client slightly frowning after a blunt response sends an immediate signal. A manager nodding builds trust. Gaze guides attention\u2014toward the learner when they \u201cspeak,\u201d toward a focal point when a visual appears. Simple orchestration avoids the \u201crobotic feel.\u201d<\/p>\n Clearly state the objectives (\u201cReassure the client and validate their needs\u201d). Use the score as a compass, not a punishment. Reward the desired behaviors with positive points. Badges mark key milestones (\u201cMastered Active Listening\u201d). The Progress block makes advancement visible (33%, 66%, 100%).<\/p>\n Write clear, inclusive text. Activate audio for lines and key feedback for learners who are visually impaired or on the move. Balance the pace: don\u2019t overlap video, audio, messages, and choices at the same time. Use the Wait block to build in pauses. Check contrast and legibility on key devices.<\/p>\n Variables and flags enable customization. Show a line only if the learner explored certain content; track \u201cbold\u201d lines for a contextualized debrief; adjust difficulty by revealing expert options based on score levels. You get skill-adaptive journeys without cluttering the UI.<\/p>\n The \u201cCheck Score\u201d block is your pedagogical safety net: below threshold, steer toward reinforcement; above, accelerate and reward. Award badges upon reaching milestones, then update status via Progress for clean reporting (SCORM LMS or VTS Perform<\/a>).<\/p>\n To fight fatigue and encourage practice: serve variations of the same case via Random block (calm, hurried, skeptical client), structure flow with Sequence (1. Explore, 2. Rephrase, 3. Propose), limit attempts with Counter before proposing a tip, resource, or demo.<\/p>\n The chain \u201cSentence Choice \u2192 Speak + Emotion + Look + Character Animation\u201d is the foundation of credible social feedback. Add a Message for instructional context, ambient sound for immersion, or media in the scenery to show diagrams, dashboards, or CRM screenshots. In a customer service scene, allow learners to explore clues via clickable areas before responding\u2014their replies become more informed.<\/p>\n The Progress block ensures consistent tracking: percentage, completion and success status, global score. Upon export, SCORM transmits score and completion to your LMS. With VTS Perform<\/a>, go further: time spent per scene, success rate by skill, frequently chosen lines, branches needing revision. You can even run simple A\/B tests with Random to compare variations.<\/p>\n Think portfolio. Use the Call Function block to reuse sequences (instructions, GDPR context, method recap). Shared variables ensure skill frameworks stay consistent across modules. VTS Editor\u2019s built-in translation helps you scale internationally; language-based conditions manage cultural nuance. The result: faster production, easier maintenance, and pedagogical cohesion.<\/p>\n Open VTS Editor, create your first Sentence\u00a0Choice block<\/strong>, link it to Speak + Emotion, map two skills to scores, and test it in a real training context.
