Interactive Breakout Session BUS54
Business EDUCA: Scenario-Based Learning for Capability Development
Date Friday, Dec 8 Time – RoomKöpenick
How can Scenario-Based Learning (SBL), impact my organisation? If you are a Learning and Development professional looking to make learning and training in your organisation more engaging then this is a session not to miss! You will walk away with: insight into what SBL can do; practical experience in generating scenarios (to develop learning modules & MOOCs) and; become part of a wider discussion on how to implement SBL and more interactivity for learners in your workplace. SBL allows learners to better engage with their training rather than just thinking of it as a tick box exercise and they can apply the learning to their everyday working life.
Seats for this session are limited. If you would like to participate, please make sure to sign up for it via MyOEB, the Conference app, after Wednesday, December 6.
