25. Solving a Mystery / Investigating a Scenario

Here’s the Solving a Mystery / Investigating a Scenario learning interaction from my eBook, Engaging Interactions For eLearning:

Description: Place the learner in a story as a character that must investigate or do research to solve a puzzle or problem. Have them obtain information from several sources and then decide upon a final conclusion.

The learner should have to obtain clues found in pseudo-real-world sources. For example, show images of file cabinets that the learner must open to find clues; show people that the learner must interview; show documents that they must read for more information, etc.

Use examples of information sources that the learner would encounter on-the-job.

Example: Consider these scenarios:

You are a doctor evaluating a new patient. Use the available resources to make your diagnosis.

You are a police officer investigating a robbery. Use the available resources to build your case and find the criminal.

Level(s) of Interaction: 3, 4
Knowledge Type(s): Factual
Conceptual
Procedural
Metacognitive
