Course Description
Program Details: Scenario-Based eLearning (SBL) is a highly-interactive and high-discovery method of learning that puts the learner on the spot. They have proven to help learners learn in areas where the subjects involve risks; emotional experience; behavioral changes; decision making and judgment; in-depth technical skills; and social learning. Unfortunately, many approaches in SBL development tend to overkill SBL design – increasing costs and development time. In this session, you will learn the steps of constructing an SBL successfully, while keeping a lid on budget and time.
This program will help you implement engaging SBLs. Conducted entirely online, this certificate program focuses on effective and cost-effective design and development - practical and useful, not theories or software use.

Sessions
Pre-Certificate and/or Interim Assignments: Most certificate sessions require a minimum of 60 minutes of pre-work.
These sessions are intensive as they allow you the opportunity to select additional (optional) small projects as a "proof-of-concept".
These projects are hands-on applications of your learning ideas. These optional projects may require several hours of preparation, and are excellent ways to learn, work and kick-off specific projects.
SESSION 1
- Understand science behind SBLs
- Discern the difference between SBLs and memorization branching
- Set-up a discovery process for SBLs and your content
- Create core engaging stories, incidents
- Set-up learning objectives, ending consequence objectives
- Build the paths and alternatives to reach end objectives
- SBL Project flow and process
- Assign exercises and workshop mini-project
SESSION 2
- Use characters and events to add adventure and challenges
- Break patterns of thinking from old to new skill and knowledge
- Insert looping, Easter eggs, surprises and Add testing, tracking and feedback
- Share and assign exercises
- Use images, multimedia, video, virtual tools
- Review workshop mini-project
SESSION 3
- Use SBLS in Gamification, games and exercises
- Develop storyboards, wire-frames
- Select characters and artifacts
- Apply scenarios in different content: soft skills, process and procedures, technical, compliance
- Use templates and prototypes
- Reduce costs and speed-up delivery
- Submit, review and feedback on mini-projects

- Understand models of SBLs.
- Build powerful, engaging, and provocative stories and scenarios.
- CreateSBLs that create impacts on the job performance.
- Pick the characters that match your content and context.
- Create characters to deliver the learning points.
- Constructe step-by-step SBL architecture with nodes, events, conflicts, challenges.
- Construct mini-SBLs, snippets, nuggets, or vignettes.
- Determine what different types of stories to match your SBLs.
- Understand what software supports SBL development.
- Extend SBLs from simulated events to real-life applications.
- Manage costs, create a budget and plan, a documentation that becomes your storyboard and worksheet that serve as guide for the interactive and software developers.
- Make SBLs powerfully engaging, without increasing costs; making SBLs affordable.
- Select the right software for implementation.
You will also see first hand:
- A simulated SBL hands-on process
