So, what’s the difference is between standard online training and scenario-based learning. The key is that one allows consumers to learn about the task from reading texts, and then not examined on their knowledge until after fully completing the reading, which differs to scenario-based learning whereby consumers are actively engaged in knowledge testing throughout each session. This can also be referred to as ‘Adaptive learning’, you can find out more about adaptive learning in this following article, https://getrapl.com/why-adaptive-learning-is-the-best-solution-to-train-your-multigenerational-workforce/.
The adaptive learning structure has a number of benefits, specifically as each consumer is constantly challenged throughout the learning process, this results in increased engagement. Increasing engagement enables learners to feel involved in tasks, overcoming disengagement and overcoming learning tasks that could sometimes be considered time consuming or boring . Similarly, with a ‘Fail & Learn’ structure it allows consumers to learn from their mistakes faster, in a risk-free environment. For example, if they complete a mini multiple choice question and get a question wrong, presenting the correct answer immediately they can in real-time identify the knowledge required for improvement next time .
Scenario-based learning is content built around storytelling to ensure the consumer grasps the concepts in a simplistic manner which mirrors their actual work situation. This scenario-based learning takes each task and breaks it down into one topic at a time, this help learners keep their focus on the task and relate it back specifically to their job outputs and the rate of forgetfulness decreases. With models like these it is proven to increase knowledge retention and this is further enhanced when the scenario-based training is specifically designed to the companies consumers job outputs.
Ultimately, if we think back to when we were children learning to ride a bike or as a teenager learning to drive a car we think about repeating a new skill in order to improve on it, we actually all go through these steps, all of the time, even as an adult, given that brain training and repetition we can apply this to the best way to present successful learning in the workplace. Take worksites as an example, without specific scenario-based learning worksites could be more susceptible to accidents if employees aren’t able to practise their skills efficiently beforehand in a safe manner. Implementing this way of learning will strengthen learning pathways and safely place knowledge in the long-term memory.
Suggesting that, these are all essential for productive and successful work, training.
