Scenario-based e-Learning (eBook)

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
