Tabbed Scenario Questions: Explore scenarios through tabbed content

Switch perspectives, stack insights—because better decisions come from a broader view.

What It Is

Tabbed Scenario Questions present learners with a complex, multi-faceted situation divided across interactive tabs. Each tab reveals a distinct viewpoint, piece of information, or stakeholder perspective. Learners explore the entire scenario before answering critical thinking questions—mirroring how professionals gather and weigh diverse inputs before making decisions. This format offers structured, manageable exploration that deepens understanding and promotes informed action.
