What is Scenario-Based Learning?

Scenario-Based learning is a variation of problem-based learning. Our scenarios consist of tasks, requirements, resources, and reflection questions in an online intranet site for a virtual company. See Scenarios for a list of our scenarios-based tasks. Instructor guides, support material, and principled assessments items are available in Faculty Resources and our online community of practice (Scenario-based Learning Group) in Tapped In.
