How do you create a real-life learning scenario?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: What makes up a scenario-based learning experience? The 5 Simple Cs at the center of this learning theory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 5Cs of Successful Scenario Building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Context – <\/strong>A relatable situation and surrounding real-world context that take into account place, space, modernity, diversity and culture. This sets the scene for your challenge or situation. It helps people get in the zone and begin to \u2018read\u2019 the situation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Challenge – <\/strong>A well outlined problem or situation set within the context, including any constraints such as completion time. It is the ideal place to set the learning intention, achievable points or other learning outcomes.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Choices – <\/strong>The options that are presented at a juncture in the branching scenario. The choices lead the participant to a desired outcome or consequences. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Consequence – <\/strong>Impacts or outcomes that can be positive or negative depending on the choice. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Contemplate – <\/strong>What chances or opportunities are there to learn from this experience? Contemplation, review or reflection questions or feedback can be provided here as part of the learning process. Feedback can be made more effective with interactive and multi-modal forms of explanation.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Planning the SBL experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Create a storyline of how your scenario will work out. You can use an online tool or simply sketch out with pen and paper or a whiteboard. It helps to think of the scenario as a story which evolves down different paths – a bit like the old \u201cchoose your own adventure\u201d books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: What can I use to create my scenario-based learning material?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    There are authoring tools and apps which will assist you to create branching scenarios. With ThingLink\u2019s Scenario Builder<\/a> you can combine different media types including videos, audio, 360\u00b0 media, 3D and images into a complete learning experience. This makes it easy to create highly engaging online simulations for learning and development. There is no design or coding experience needed, so no requirement for learning a whole new skill before you can put it together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
