Each choice opens a different situation

Connect alternatives to different next steps. Learners can return to try another response and compare what happened along each path.

Indicators that reveal the cost of a decision

In variable-based simulations, define indicators such as risk and readiness. Track the effect of choices and conditions for moving between steps.

More than questions and choices

Use procedure sequencing, matching, selecting within an image or timed analysis according to the skill the exercise tests.

An attempt you can review

Simulation

How can your academy use simulations?

Does every card open a simulation I can complete?

Yes. All 14 experiences can be completed: decision simulations, sequencing, matching, and practice tests with corrections, answer explanations, and retries, without signing up.

How does a test differ from a branching simulation?

A test asks for an answer. In a branching simulation, the learner's choice changes the next step and the information they see. The trainer can discuss the decisions that led to the result and explore alternatives.

How do I identify what the learner needs after an attempt?

Review mistakes, choices and the attempt result. If, for example, the learner repeatedly makes promises before checking authorization, provide practice on that skill and ask them to try again.

Is this experience connected to an academy account?

The experience on this page is a local demonstration that works without sign-up. Creating and publishing scenarios and recording trainee attempts in the system depend on the simulation type and services enabled for your academy.

Is the barista simulation official Starbucks training?

It is an independent simulation in a café setting like Starbucks, demonstrating training in Byaan. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the brand, and can be tailored to your organization's recipes and procedures.

Are the CPHQ, Prometric, and SOCPA examples official exams?

These are original training examples demonstrating learning and preparation in Byaan. CPHQ is a quality improvement exercise, Prometric is a nursing practice test, and SOCPA is a set of accounting practice questions. They are not the certifying bodies' exams, do not award their certifications, and do not guarantee a pass.

Put a situation from your course in front of your learners.

Start with a recurring complaint, a procedure employees get wrong or a difficult program decision. Build a scenario around it and review what changes with each attempt.
