Recently, Bryan Jones (@elearningart) from eLearningArt invited me and a whole slew other eLearning people (59 of us) to share their single best tip for creating effective eLearning scenarios.
He asked everyone this question:
What’s your #1 tip for creating effective eLearning scenarios?
And, here’s how I responded:
Give learners an opportunity to solve a realistic problem before they’ve been taught the solutionConsider using scenarios to replace some of your traditional passive methods of presenting information. For example, give learners an opportunity to solve a realistic problem before they’ve been taught the solution. Shifting learners from passively receiving information to actively processing it has significant benefits. Research suggests that this scenario-based approach can lead to “desirable difficulties” that enhance learning and retention
