5 Tips for Scenario-Based Learning: Podcast Interview

On my recent interview on the NinjaTropic Microlearning Lab Podcast, I shared 5 tips for scenario-based learning.

1. Start with smaller scenarios for focused, impactful training.
2. Identify common mistakes and failures during the planning phase.
3. Use AI and iterative drafts to create realistic decision points.
4. Develop relatable protagonists to connect with your learners.
5. Combine instructional and intrinsic feedback for effective learning.
