Research on the effectiveness of concept mapping, answering retrieval questions, and reading in multiple sessions. I like the presentation of this in a scenario where you are asked to predict the results of research rather than simply summarizing the study.
Ideas for better feedback than the generic "correct" and "incorrect" used too often in e-learning. Consequences in a simulation are a form a feedback. So is branching in a scenario.
Recap of two LSCON presentations, one on scenario-based learning and the other on limiting choices to avoid choice overload
-
- The tasks that you need to be able to perform
- The procedures you need to know
- The tools that you have to use
- The knowledge you need to have
- The performance you have to deliver
One of the practical things I took from this session is that she writes the scenario’s out divided in 5 elements:
A very helpful scheme to use when you set up a scenario based learning experience. She starts out with a global storyline and character description, than she defines a sequence of events that contain a number of action points. She divides the scenario into smaller parts each containing a few action points. She only scores on action points and on good choice.
Example of e-learning with a branching video scenarios, where you can play four different roles to avoid a serious incident of research misconduct. The stage is set with the "worst case scenario" where everything has gone wrong to draw you in, but you can travel back in time to prevent the problem.
Multiple sites for generating names for scenarios
Free characters and office scenes that can be used for e-learning. Different expressions and poses for conversations. The license information is conflicting; it's labeled CC-public domain, but requests attribution so it should really be CC-By.
Nice summary of the benefits of scenario-based learning
Research summary on spaced education for medical students. The e-learning included emailed scenarios and questions. The summary and conclusion talk about medical knowledge, but since this is about scenarios it seems like there might be some decision-making skills being reinforced here too.

Conclusion Spaced education consisting of clinical scenarios and questions distributed weekly via e-mail can significantly improve students' retention of medical knowledge.
Strategies for designing e-learning that lets learning be messy, more like the real world
-
Basically, the revelation that I had was — I like right answers. I really like tidy right answers. I usually don’t ask learners questions that I don’t have a “right” answer or answers for. Even when the task is “authentic” and “embedded in context” I want there to be a right answer. And this is wrong.
Because what Dan Myer is teaching his students is how to approach problems that don’t have right answers, which is the way that most of the problems in the real world work. His students are learning to be okay with that, and how to ask good questions, and how approach those problems.
A great slideshow showing (not just explaining!) the value of scenarios to change behavior in e-learning
Comparison of problem-based learning and scenario-based learning, where problem-based learning is text-based case studies and scenario-based learning is interactive, dynamic, and time-limited.
More than just "click next": concrete ideas for more effective interactivity. Examples provided for intrinsic feedback, delayed feedback, case studies, branching scenarios, motivation.
Mostly 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
Research on how to support learning with scenarios that are relevant to the specific situation. Even though this is explicitly about workplace training, the major recommendations could be adapted for instructional design in education contexts too.
-
Utilize decision-making scenarios. Consider using them not just in a minor role—for example at the end of a section—but integrated into the main narrative of your learning design.
-
Determine the most important points you want to get across AND the most important situations in which these points are critical. Then, provide extra repetitions spaced over time on these key points and situations.
