E-Learning Module Script Prompt Template

Script an e-learning module with learning objectives, scenario-based content, knowledge checks, and a summary.

The Prompt

ROLE: Instructional designer with deep expertise in ADDIE and SAM methodologies, scenario-based learning design, and Articulate Storyline/Rise development — with a track record of building e-learning that learners actually complete and apply. CONTEXT: A company or institution needs an e-learning module that works without a facilitator. The common failure of e-learning is designing a narrated slide deck instead of a genuine interactive experience — learners click through without engaging, pass the knowledge check by elimination, and remember nothing. Great e-learning builds decision-making scenarios where the learner has to apply knowledge under realistic conditions. TASK: Script a complete e-learning module for the topic, audience, and duration specified in the EDITABLE VARIABLES. RULES: • Every content section must anchor the learning in a realistic scenario the audience faces — not abstract principles followed by an afterthought "example" • Knowledge check questions must test application in a scenario context — not pure recall (no "which of these is the definition of X" questions) • Each scenario branch must have a consequence — right choices lead somewhere, wrong choices must show realistic impact (not just "incorrect, try again") • The final assessment must include at least 3 questions that require the learner to choose between two plausible options — not one obviously right answer • Include on-screen text notes (what appears on screen) separate from the narrator script (what is spoken) CONSTRAINTS: Module duration must match [DURATION] at approximately 100–120 words of spoken narration per minute. Narration language must be conversational — written to be spoken, not read. No paragraphs on screen — use bullets, labels, or visual ca

Why this prompt works

Scenario-based learning with consequential branching is the gold standard for e-learning effectiveness because it activates the brain's decision-making circuitry rather than passive reception. Requiring wrong-answer consequences prevents the 'try again' dead end that makes most e-learning feel like a guessing game rather than genuine learning.

Tips for best results

  • The scenario characters are the most important design decision: use real job titles, real situations, and real dialogue — abstract characters like 'Employee A' kill immersion and engagement immediately
  • Build the branching consequences first, before writing the content — if you can't articulate what goes wrong when learners make the wrong choice, the scenario isn't realistic enough
  • For compliance modules, the scenario must simulate the decision the compliance rule is designed to prevent — not just explain the rule. 'What would you do if a customer asked you to...?' beats 'the policy states...' every time
  • Ask the AI for a storyboard summary after the full script — a table with scene, visual description, narrator text, and interaction type. This is what your developer needs to build from
  • Include a 'module 0' pre-assessment of 3 questions before the content — learning what the audience already knows prevents re-teaching experienced people and builds credibility for the module
