Scenario-Based Learning Experiences Podcast Interview

Jacqueline Hutchinson of The Lounge podcast and I had a lovely conversation on scenario-based learning. She had some great questions about how to use scenarios and storytelling in learning experiences that led to a really fun chat. We talked about some “horror stories” and scenarios gone wrong, using scenarios to make compliance training not sleep-inducing, and options besides branching scenarios for incorporating storytelling.
Listen to our conversation on scenario-based learning on her site or follow the links to listen on other platforms. The episode is about 45 minutes long.
As a side note, since Jac and I are both tea drinkers, I mentioned that I was drinking an iced lemon basil oolong from my local tea shop while we recorded.

What we talked about

• What is a scenario
• When are scenarios useful
• Branching scenarios versus simple one question scenarios
• Getting started with a simple scenario
• Process for designing a scenario
• How to determine when to use a scenario
• Working with SMEs (Subject Matter Experts)
• How long does it take to design different scenarios
• Manage the complexity of the scenario
