What you want to do is figure out how to connect the information to the learner.

Most elearning courses are about the information in the course and not how the
information is relevant to the learner

A scenario can put the course content into a context that is relevant to the
learners because they can use the information in a real world setting.
Even if you don’t create a pull-type course, scenarios are still effective in
helping your learners. -

how to connect the information to the learner.
-
That’s where scenarios come in handy. Good scenarios tap into the
motivations of the learner. What’s in it for the learner? Why do
they need this information? What do they gain with this information?
Or flip it. -
What do they lose if they don’t have this information? You can still build
a course that reaches hundreds of people and at the same time allow each learner
to get something a little different out of it. -
By building scenarios where they have to actively make decisions you’re
better able to help them transfer the information and make it more
meaningful. You’re also in a better position to assess their real
understanding and provide feedback to fill the gaps. -
Scenarios don’t need to be overly complicated.
-
Another way of simplifying is to pull much of the content out of the course and
create job aids or cheat sheets that they can use after the course -
You can use those as the resources that people can explore to solve the
scenario. An additional benefit is that you’re able to teach them how to
use those aids as part of the course objectives so that they have access to it
after the course is complete. -
You might not want to tell them that you’re building scenarios. Instead,
just ask if they can give you some background on how or when they use the
information. -
Also, find out how a new person would use the information versus someone who is
more experienced -
In fact, some of your best resources for building your courses are new employees
or recent learners. -
Confirm that the scenarios are accurate and realistic.
Make sure that your customer, subject matter experts, and learners all agree
that the content and scenarios are accurate and realistic. -
This is especially true if your courses are available to different ethnic groups
or cultures.

Don’t give the learners any upfront information. Just throw them into the pool so to speak and let them learn to swim. This is a great way to test their assumptions and possible misunderstanding.

Christy TuckerMostly common sense type stuff if you've done scenarios before, but if you've never created them this is a good way to break it down so it seems more manageable
