You may have taken one of my workshops on scenario-based learning. I want to keep you updated on the latest research on this topic. In my last scenario-based e-learning ASTD class, some participants mentioned that their learners LOVED scneario-based learning while others just wanted the content – and resented the extra resources they had to spend on the scenarios. Research has shown that overall, scenario-based learning is popular with medical students. But this popularity may not extend to your learners. What have you found in your organization?
My next post will summarize some research showing that learning was improved by addition of a scenario AND cognitive learning support.
