About this title

Synopsis

Scenario-Based e-Learning

Scenario-Based e-Learning offers a new instructional design approach that can accelerate expertise, build critical thinking skills, and promote transfer of learning. This book focuses on the what, when, and how of scenario-based e-learning for workforce learning. Throughout the book, Clark defines and demystifies scenario-based e-learning by offering a practical design model illustrated with examples from veterinary science, automotive troubleshooting, sales and loan analysis among other industries. Filled with helpful guidelines and a wealth of illustrative screen shots, this book offers you the information needed to:

• Identify the benefits of a SBeL design for learners and learning outcomes
• Determine when SBeL might be appropriate for your needs
• Identify specific outcomes of SBeL relevant to common organizational goals
• Classify specific instructional goals into one or more learning domains
• Apply a design model to present content in a task-centered context
• Evaluate outcomes from SBeL lessons
• Identify tacit expert knowledge using cognitive task analysis techniques
• Make a business case for SBeL in your organization
