Scenario-Based E-Learning Model: A CDC Case Study - Nancy Gathany and Jeanette Stehr-Green, Learning Circuits
Using a framework proposed by Clark Aldrich, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reflects on its recently released linear e-learning program—and the components that give it a dash of simulation. CDC concludes that the program has an engaging interface and the feel of a simulation because it's scenario-based. More important, it requires the learner to apply knowledge and skills in a realistic format. Whether it’s a Web-delivered tutorial, a simulation of a virtual world via CD-ROM, or a simple interactive lesson downloaded from the Web, research shows that well-designed e-learning is effective. One form of e-learning that piques learners’ as well as developers’ interest is educational simulations.
