MAGICademy Podcast: The Art and Science of Scenario Design
In my MAGICademy podcast interview, we discussed scenario-based learning, AI, and the effectiveness of scenarios for teaching complex skills.
Dr. Jiani Wu interviewed me for her new MAGICademy podcast about scenario design. We discussed scenario-based learning, strategies to integrate AI, and the effectiveness of scenarios for teaching complex skills.
Key points from the podcast
- Scenario-based learning and branching scenarios can be effective in teaching complex skills that require critical thinking and decision-making.
- When designing branching scenarios, it’s important to focus on specific behaviors and provide realistic feedback.
- Simplifying complex topics and making them concrete can empower learners to apply knowledge effectively.
- Using AI tools can help generate ideas and alternative choices for branching scenarios, but human oversight and editing are necessary.
