A scenario providing device stores a scenario file, a customization file for stating a setting value of a variable used for executing a process constituting a scenario, and a menu for selecting the scenario. A menu providing unit of the scenario providing device causes a scenario execution terminal to display the menu and decides the scenario in accordance with an option selected in the scenario execution terminal from options included in the displayed menu. The scenario providing unit of the scenario providing device transmits the scenario file of the decided scenario and the customization file. A scenario execution unit of the scenario execution terminal substitutes, in the scenario indicated by the scenario file, the setting value of the variable stated in the customization file by a user and executes the scenario.

One variation of a method for controlling dissemination of instructional content to operators performing procedures at equipment within a facility includes: at a computing device, accessing a digital procedure containing a first instructional block comprising a first instruction in a set of formats including a text format corresponding to a first degree of guidance, an audio format corresponding to a second degree of guidance different from the first degree, and a visual format corresponding to a third degree of guidance greater than the first and second degrees; accessing a minimum instruction guidance specification for a current instance of the digital procedure; and, in response to initiation of the first instructional block in the digital procedure, presenting the first instruction in a particular format, in the set of formats, corresponding to a particular degree of guidance approximating the minimum instruction guidance specification.
