Pasadena, CA September 2007 - Vignettes for Training (VFT), an e-Learning



workshop producer presents a soft-skill e-Learning simulation on Negotiation

entitled "Interview with the Vagabond" produced by Michael Gibson. The

soft-skill simulation uses Scenario-based e-Learning to engage the learner in

high involvement.

In the "Vagabond", you are confronted with a dangerous situation. It is a life

and death situation and you must negotiate to get out of this situation.

For e-Learning to be effective, it must be highly interactive and engaging.

However, most of the e-Learning today are boring page-turners that fail to

help in retention. This problem is even worse when teaching soft-skills online.

The model "Interview with the Vagabond" uses emotionally-charged situations,

scenarios, and real-life events to put the learner on the spot. The learner cannot

help but be involved in the scenario. To preview the Scenario-based e-Learning (SBL), visit and click "Interview with the Vagabond":

Ray Jimenez, PhD, facilitator for the workshops on Scenario-based e-Learning

suggests that e-Learning developers follow some of these ideas:

o Select emotionally-provocative stories and real-life events

o Build a powerful story with realistic characters

o Allow the learners to discover and never to show answers

Using emotionally-charged events in Scenario-based e-Learning is only one

of the many topics covered in Ray Jimenez's workshop on Scenario-based e-Learning scheduled in Chicago, IL and Pasadena, CA, on December 4 and 7, 2007. To learn more, visit:
