Developing a Framework for Automated Scenario-Based e-Learning Design

Abstract

Scenario-based e-learning can be used to enable students to develop expertise, in situations that are rare or infrequent, too hazardous for the inexperienced, too expensive to permit practice and failure, or simply not available. Developing automated courses requires significant technical ability, separate from the subject expertise of the educator. This paper introduces a framework developed to simplify this process, along with a scenario authoring and cloud-based training environment, Pandora + Keywords-scenario-based e-learning; accelerated expertise; scenario authoring; cloud-based training; authoring and development framework.
