Scenario-Based Learning in Action: Designing Workplace-Relevant Experiences

Unlock a new dimension of learning design with Scenario-Based Learning (SBL). This practical 7-hour hands-on course equips you with the essential knowledge and skills to understand, design, and implement introductory SBL activities for adult learners. Discover its relevance to the Training and Adult Education sector in Singapore, learn to develop engaging narratives, and get a first look at how simple GenAI-powered tools can assist you by adding realism and relevance to your lessons with real world problems, yet without the associated risks thus allowing learners to learn through experience and discovery. 

 

Knowledge-based learning objectives: what participants will know at the end of the workshop (their understanding)
1.    Define Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) and its core principles.

2.    Identify the benefits of SBL for adult learners, such as enhanced engagement and retention.

3.    Recognise the relevance of SBL within the Training and Adult Education sector in Singapore, as outlined by the Skills Framework.

4.    Explain the basic elements of a well-designed SBL scenario for procedural knowledge, including context, challenge, choices, and consequences.

5.    Compare the features of GenAI-powered tools that can assist in the SBL creation process.

Skills-based learning objectives: what participants will be able to do at the end of the workshop (their application)
1.    Formulate clear learning objectives for basic SBL scenarios focusing on learning of procedural knowledge.

2.    Develop realistic contexts and engaging narratives for simple scenarios.

3.    Create decision points and potential consequences within a scenario.

4.    Design simple branching scenarios with limited pathways.

5.    Demonstrate the ability to use at least one simple GenAI tool to generate ideas or content for an SBL scenario.
