Title How to Add Meaningful Interactions 36<br />

Overcoming Objections<br />

If your subject matter experts or clients question whether scenariobased<br />

learning is an effective way to convey voluminous content, you can<br />

assure them that there are many ways to share key material in a scenariobased<br />

course. You can:<br />

• Create in<strong>for</strong>mation-rich, decision-making points. For the antidiscrimination<br />

training, you could provide details on a relevant antidiscrimination<br />

law when you set the stage <strong>for</strong> the scenario. “In 1991,<br />

the U.S. government passed a civil rights law that states…”<br />

• Add resources or help links that learners can access if they need<br />

more context or in<strong>for</strong>mation to make decision. For example, you<br />

could provide links to a FAQ on your course player that detail key<br />

portions of anti-discrimination laws.<br />

• Use characters to provide helpful in<strong>for</strong>mation. So you could let<br />

learners click on an HR manager to hear audio or watch video of a real<br />

person explaining what behavior is considered discriminatory.<br />

• Create a virtual guide. This could be a character or simply an<br />

interactive element you make available throughout the scenario.<br />

Learners could click on it to get tips and clues any time they need help.
