Case Scenario/Critical Reader Builder

The Case Scenario/Critical Reader Builder is an authoring tool created through the Engage program in conjunction with the UW Madison Writing Center, College of Letters and Science and the School of Pharmacy.

The CSCR Builder is a desktop tool for creating a variety of web-based learning materials. You can combine text, images, video and audio along with embedded quiz questions and scoring to create compelling interactive critical readings, scenarios with decision branching, simulated dialogues, story-like narratives, media rich case studies and much more.

The CSCR tool provides a framework for integrating multiple media elements and web resources to make your content come alive with interactivity. Learners can interact with and explore course content, make decisions and receive corrective feedback.
