Transform your training

Scenario based learning, a method that has gained popularity in recent years, offers a unique way to motivate and engage learners. By presenting employees with realistic, hypothetical scenarios, this approach encourages them to apply their knowledge to solve problems. Unlike traditional methods, which can be uninspiring, scenarios use real-world examples to help employees develop practical skills. This motivates and engages them and equips them with the skills they need to excel in their roles.

Active learning through scenarios

Scenario based learning provides interactive, motivating, and engaging elearning experiences. Scenarios offer different choices to a question, allowing the user to select the correct option to complete the learning experience. This interactive involvement in learning requires learners to make real-life choices to answer questions.

Engaging learners with active participation

Being active in one’s learning is essential to acquiring and mastering new skills and knowledge. An active learner is engaged in the material, making decisions and seeing consequences – this is active learning. In contrast, a passive learner only receives information without doing anything with it. Situations requiring learners to take action by making decisions and seeing consequences are a much better way of learning than being passive. Active learning engages the learner and allows them to practice their learned information. Scenarios require learners to actively use the information they have learned to make the correct decision. Being an active learner leads to a deeper understanding of the material and better retention of information. According to Whybrow, “Situations which require learners to take action by making decisions and seeing consequences is a much better way of learning than being passive.”^[1] Scenarios require learners to actively use the information they have learned to make the correct decision. This is active learning.

Motivating employees through scenario based learning

Individuals need to be motivated by their experiences to be active and engaged learners. Scenario based learning is not just a way to provide employees with motivating and engaging elearning experiences, but also a powerful tool to boost their motivation. It helps them learn new skills and knowledge essential to their work life, making it a valuable and secure investment in your workforce.
