The Power of Scenarios in E-Learning<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

One of the best ways to learn is through experience<\/span><\/a>. Rarely, however, is this a linear process where a single experience leads to a significant new skill and enhanced knowledge. Instead, learning through experience happens in stages.<\/span><\/p>\n

This normally involves making mistakes, taking good decisions, and taking bad decisions. When you put it all together the result is you learn a new skill or acquire new knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, wouldn’t it be great if you could mimic this style of learning in an environment where mistakes don’t result in lost sales, downtime, or negative customer experiences? With e-learning, you can, by using scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n

Role Playing Reborn<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Of course, if you have ever been in a group learning environment, you will have experience of this via role playing exercises. We know that role playing can be an effective way to learn. After all, it\u2019s something you probably started doing as a very young child. In children, role-playing encourages the use of imagination and helps children interact positively with others.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not surprising, therefore, that trainers in classroom environments try to capitalise on the potential benefits by adding role-playing exercises to courses. These role-playing exercises are, however, inefficient, artificial, and not many people like taking part in them. This limits the positive effects as all too often participants are more concerned about not making fools of themselves than they are with learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scenarios in e-learning are much more comfortable for learners, plus, as the course creator, you have more control over the direction of the scenario. In addition, scenarios improve the learning experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Use Scenarios in E-Learning<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

There are three main options available when adding a scenario exercise to an e-learning course:<\/span><\/p>\n
