Branching Scenario - ability to save/load the branching scenario tree in an XML file

Branching Scenario is a great tool. I was wondering if there is a capability to save a branching scenario tree to an XML file, and also be able to load it from an XML file. Branching Scenario is essentially a decision tree, and there are third-party decision tree software tools that can potentially generate XMLs in the Branching Scenario format. This would be a great addition for automatically authoring Branching Scenarios from third-party tools.

Hi deepak2k!

Branching scenarios just expect parameters properly structured in json format, so it should not be complicated to transform XML as required. You would have to feed those into h5p files to be uploaded or into the respective params of existing files - both probably requiring more work.

Hi Oliver,

Thank-you for the useful information. Json format would also work instead of XML. Currently, is there a way in the Branching Scenario plugin for Moodle to populate the branching content directly through Json? 

Best Regards,

Deepak.

Hi Deepak!

Nope. You'd have to come up with your own solution, e.g. an H5P file builder for new content or some hook that overrided the original parameters in the database.
