In preparation for writing a scenario activity or building scenario-based assessment questions, define the
elements that are important to one or more related situations. Providing several related scenarios will
help you choose the elements that are most valuable to you.
Example
Scenario Elements
Description Scenario 1 Description Scenario 2
Situation SME’s knowledge of Adult learning theory is limited to Knowles that says that adults need: To know the reason for learning
something
Experience (including error) as a
foundation to learning
SME’s knowledge of Adult learning theory is limited to Knowles that says that adults need: To be responsible and involved Seek relevance in their learning
Obstacle(s) E-learning seldom explains why the learning is doing the activity
SME’s focus on terminology rather than experience
E-learning assume that the learner will make the content relevant to their work
E-learning often prevents learners from taking responsibility for their learning
Actions SMEs must write introductions to step-by-step learning such that the introductions motivate their adult learners
SME’s must write step-by-step instructions that include relevance and responsibility
Results Brief introductions guide learners into the content more quickly
SME’s create action-orient learning that demonstrates relevance and responsibility
Write a short scenario using one or two sentences to set up the situation and obstacles.
As the content expert in healthcare and you are working on an e-learning project, you are asked
to write a brief introduction to module on transporting fluids. Your first task is to create a
purpose for learners to work through this module. The introduction you write is:
Manny works as a Phlebotomist collecting specimens in a large hospital. You are visiting
the Phlebotomy lab today to shadow Manny as he collects fluids.
Describe the desired action required in order to get the expected results.
A nurse stops Manny in the hall to give him a tube of CSF. Which of the following steps
would expect Manny to take in order to protect CSF?
