A student competition run by the Centre for Holistic Teaching and Learning (CHTL), HKBU, under the TDLEG-IICA project Resilience and Integrity through Scenario-based Engagement (RISE). You author a two-level branching scenario grounded in the RISE framework — and your scenario becomes a learning resource for other students.
You design an interactive, two-level branching scenario set in real student life. Each scenario must be built on the RISE framework — 6 core competences and 5 domains of life — and should develop the audience's knowledge of resilience and integrity. Winning and shortlisted scenarios are showcased as reusable learning resources for peers.
Raise your own knowledge of resilience & integrity by designing a scenario, and build a resource bank for other students.
Two-level branching, 3–4 options every time a player makes a decision, with outcomes & debriefs.
Qualtrics form + a login-free folder with MP4 video(s) and the completed “Scenario Design Description & Rationale”.

RISE = Resilience and Integrity through Scenario-based Engagement. It is the reference framework for the whole competition: 6 core competences applied across 5 interconnected domains of life. Your scenario should cover most of the competences and at least two domains.
Official framework video (123 s) — the source of every definition on this page.
Verbatim definitions of all 6 competences and 5 domains, the dynamic / contextual / multidirectional model, selection rules, script conventions, the worked mapping, and the cited references.
Open the deep-dive →The skills you practise: Ethical Judgement, Interpersonal Skills, Self-Awareness, Self-Care, Self-Determination, Self-Regulation.
Where life happens: Academic/Professional, Civic/Political, Environmental, Personal, Relational/Social.
Dynamic model — a non-linear system. Contextual alignment — any competence can apply in any domain depending on the scenario. Multidirectional — the competence “plane” can be turned; there is no fixed mapping.
Click any item to read its official definition. Use the picker to choose your ≤ 4 competences and ≤ 2 domains and get the code string to paste into your script.
Its official definition from the RISE framework video appears here.
The matrix is fully filled on purpose: per the framework, any competence can be deployed in any domain — the mapping is contextual, not fixed.
Answer the questions in the official submission page (linked from the site). You select your competences and domains, and paste your scenario script.

GenAI tools are allowed and encouraged by the competition — provided you work responsibly and declare any use or non-use, describing what you used and why. Below is how an AI agent fits into each stage of the workflow, and the guardrails that keep the entry compliant.
The official rubric has three weighted blocks. Pick a level for each criterion to estimate your score out of 100 — useful for spotting weak spots before you submit.
This is the organiser's illustrative scenario (paraphrased). It shows the expected depth: two-level branching, an ideal answer per branch, competence codes on every action, and video cues. Do not copy it — originality is required.
A group assignment where a teammate drafts the analysis with a GenAI writing assistant — and the deadline is Friday.
Domains D1 Academic/Professional + D5 Relational/Social; competences C1, C2, C3, C5.
4 scenes, each referenced in the script by filename, e.g. [Play: Scene2.mp4].
Codes in green are ideal paths; a minus (e.g. -C1) marks a competence that is missing or misused.
This page is a working brief for our conversation. The open questions below are ours (not the organiser's).
