Learn how the usage of emotionally-charged scenarios effectively involve learners and results in effective, highly interactive and engaging e-learning programs. http://www.vignettestraining.com/preview-main-workshop.htmPasadena, CA September 2007 - Vignettes for Training (VFT), an e-Learning workshop producer presents a soft-skill e-Learning simulation on Negotiation entitled "Interview with the Vagabond" produced by Michael Gibson. The soft-skill simulation uses Scenario-based e-Learning to engage the learner in high involvement. In the "Vagabond", you are confronted with a dangerous situation. It is a life and death situation and you must negotiate to get out of this situation. For e-Learning to be effective, it must be highly interactive and engaging. However, most of the e-Learning today are boring page-turners that fail tohelp in retention. This problem is even worse when teaching soft-skills online. The model "Interview with the Vagabond" uses emotionally-charged situations, scenarios, and real-life events to put the learner on the spot. The learner cannothelp but be involved in the scenario.
