Eliciting the NarrativeHow to capture your narrative:• Surveys• Subject Matter Expert Interviews• Shadowing an Expert• Performing in the role
What you are looking for:• Process.• What happens when all is well• What happens when there is a problem• How are common situations handled• How are complex situations handled• Misconceptions from the users view• Misconceptions from the program owners view• The Wow Story!

Micro Structures
• Basic Feedback Loop
Q1 Correct
Feedback
Incorrect
Situation 1 Situation 2
or go to Q1
Provide Feedback in Situation 2 Or independent of situation 2
Easy to authorEasy for a learner to get through
Feedback can break continuity of storyThe story can feel overly like an assessment

Micro Structures
• Basic Feedback Loop (Double Assessment)
Q1A Correct
Feedback
Incorrect
Situation 1 Q1B
This could also be to an exit pathOr tracked and go on
Correct
Incorrect
Situation 2
More challenging to authorThe double assessment challenges the learnerUse in conjunction with single feedback loops so it is not overly obviousWorks well with an exit pathCan become complicated with over 3 distracters

• Narrowing Distracters
Feedback

MediumQ1
Situation 2
Situation 1a
Correct
Incorrect
Q1a
More challenging to authorThe learner time in the simulation variesThe format does not feel overly obviousBecause the answers are reiterated if you choose the medium choice for Situation 1a the learner has a natural recall of S1 and Q1
