Mini-scenarios: How to help people recover from mistakes

Making Change

In a previous post , we looked at some ways to help people learn from their mistakes in branching scenarios. How can we do the same thing in the much more limited world of the mini-scenario?

3 Reasons Performance Support Is Vital

eLearning Brothers

It’s time to take a moment and give performance support its due. But first, what is performance support? Performance support can take many forms, but in essence, it is task-specific guidance, support, or resources delivered at the moment of need. A printed resource guide is an example of performance support, but so is a detailed how-to video.
