If you feel resistance after you begin, it's usually feedback and you need to make adjustments." —James Clear.

Picture this: you’re sitting down to write a storyboard for an eLearning module—the topic is important to your organization but has the potential to bore the socks off of your learners. You stare at the blank screen. What do you do? - Write the content in a lecture-presentation format - Make a trivia game out of it - Write a realistic scenario question you know learners will relate to In this case—and many others—we’d opt for scenario-based learning. Scenarios are a highly effective learning strategy for engaging learners and helping them practice skills and build confidence in realistic environments. Plus, everyone loves a good story: writing scenarios for training leverages the power of storytelling to simplify complex topics and encourage learners to reflect on what they’ve learned. More often than not, scenarios are the most engaging, relevant, and transferable choice you can make for your learning experience. But not all scenarios are created equal. It takes practice to learn how to write a scenario that keeps learners engaged and helps achieve your learning goals. We’ve been putting in the work to learn what makes a scenario successful. Check out our blog for a quick overview of scenario-based learning and a few simple steps for how to write a scenario that engages your learners: https://lnkd.in/gRFTBYKD #learningstrategy #instructionaldesign #learningleaders #learninganddevelopment

When it comes to instructional design, both what you write and how you write it directly impact learners’ interaction, perception, and retention of the material.
