How do you increase learning impact through scenario-based learning? Opportunities for practice with feedback improve skill transfer.
How do you increase learning impact through scenario-based learning? While no solution is right for every training situation, we know that providing opportunities for practice with feedback is critical for developing skills. Scenario-based learning is one way to provide that practice with feedback to help learners improve their performance.
