Scenario-based learning places the learner in an authentic situation that is most like their real work life and asks them to make decisions. Scenarios provide an opportunity for the learners to show what they learned in your training program.

What should you do next?
Plan & Establish Expectations
Work hard & Demand excellence
ANDREA
Whichever answer Chris chooses, scenario-based learning would provide coaching feedback to help him learn. A correct answer like “Plan & Establish Expectations” moves him to the next decision point. An incorrect answer offers him an alternative scenario which leads to failure.
CHRIS
Say what? I don’t want to fail.
ANDREA
I know but if we don’t fail in training we won’t learn how to act when we are not in training.
CHRIS
Hmmm. If I just get the wrong answer. It’s going to tell me what’s right.
ANDREA
No one remembers clicking next to continue. YOU NEED PERIL! (off-camera- Stop it!)
Failure leads to success. If at first, you don’t succeed and all that jazz, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh

Good point Andrea! It’s also a good idea in scenario-based learning to give our learners plausible wrong answers so the choices they make are rooted in authentic scenarios they may face on the job.
Your turn!
How do you use scenario-based learning to teach your people?
Comment down below, and until next time.
