Costs The first cost to be considered is the development. Branching scenarios, of course, take more thinking to develop. As well as the development costs, there’re also the tuning costs. They provide contextualized practice where you must perform in the learning environment as you’ll need to perform after the learning.

Learning science tells us that asking learners to use knowledge to make decisions, like those that will be required in the performance situation, is the best way to develop the ability to perform. While you can do mentored live performance, e.g., apprenticeships, there are times when this isn’t viable.

The performance objectives established should clearly be represented in the choices of action the learner chooses from. The alternatives to the right answer ideally are the ways performers typically go wrong. We should also match the scenario structure to the performance needed. This serves two purposes.

So, there are two definitions of microlearning: performance support and spaced learning. Computers, for example, can perform rote routines flawlessly, and deal with large and arbitrary amounts of information. We also have trouble remembering the exact details of something we perform several times a day and confuse them.

This is what is technically termed performance support, a.k.a Trying to put it into my head as learning first, then having me perform, wouldn’t make sense. Doing performance support is also worth doing right. Also, the design of the solution is very different from that of the performance aid. Yet, that’s OK!

We know that there can be multiple reasons why performance isn’t as desired, so we need to ensure that we’re addressing all the reasons, and in ways that align with how we think, work, and learn. Addressing various performance drivers, aligning incentives, and overcoming obstacles are crucial design considerations.

You also need to know the things learners or performers do wrong on the job. However, there are nuances to scenario design that should be observed.

Turn to job aids or community (learning can be facilitated around either, as well), but stop developing learning as a default. Which, of course, prompted some reflection. So, don’t make me learn, unless I have to.
