Abstract
It is obvious that with
new education technologie
s, massive open and online courses (MOOCs), and the
widespread availability of open educational resources
, eLearning is occupying
a significant share of the workplace
learning for both pre
-
service training such as employee inductions and for the continuous
professional
development of staff. Proponents of workplace eLearning highlight a number of key advantages of eLearning
such as
connection to the actual work, responsibilities and engagement of the employee
. Others have stressed on
characteristics of eLearning such as
self
-
paced instruction, flexibility and adaptability of course content leading
to increased satisfaction
.
Workplace learning is often linked to the acquisition of practical knowledge in the form
of skills and competenci
es that would in turn be applied in real world settings by the staff concerned.
The classic
eLearning model that relies extensively on content dissemination and assimilation by the employee may not bring
the desired outcomes
. On the other hand, scenario
-
ba
sed eLearning can cater for this gap through the use of
activity
-
based learning designs.
In this paper we describe the learning design process for scenario
-
based eLearning
using the rapid development methodology
in
an authentic case
-
study within the workpl
ace.
The main phases of
scenario
-
based eLearning lifecycle is based on the following five phases namely (i) select a specific skillset, (ii)
identify and describe a contextual relevant scenario, (iii) develop a storyboard (iv) implement the storyboard into
interactive scenes, and (v) publish the scenario
and implement in eLearning
