What are Interactive Case Scenarios?

... a mash up of story meets simulation

...an authentic, compelling story in which the learner is the protagonist and can learn in a safe, low risk way. 

DOIT is supporting UW faculty in creating interative case scenarios to help students learn how to respond in real life situations.

My Take Aways ( from a presentation yesterday)

Design Methodology

They used a ‘design methodology” they call the 7 C’s.  The methodology provides a structure and boundaries when creating a case scenario ( but doesn’t limit creativity)

7 C’s

•  Content
•  Context
• Characters
• Challenge
•  Choices
• Consequences
• Connections

Those of you who have worked with story will see some overlap with our five tips.
