Exploring the different types of feedback in e-learning
Feedback in e-learning is a vital tool for guiding learners and enhancing understanding. From the Minimalist “Correct/Incorrect” approach for quick recall tasks to Short Explanation feedback that clarifies why answers are right or wrong, each type serves a purpose. Direct Consequence feedback highlights immediate cause-and-effect, while Long-Term Consequence feedback reveals the ripple effects of decisions over time, promoting strategic thinking. By tailoring feedback to match learning objectives, instructional designers can create engaging and impactful experiences that help learners make better decisions, both in the moment and with future outcomes in mind.
Crack the case: investigation-based scenario
Investigation-based scenarios transform training into an engaging, exploratory process where learners act as investigators, uncovering critical information and solving problems. This method sharpens analytical skills, reinforces adherence to guidelines, and is particularly effective for compliance, diagnostics, and customer service training.
Day-in-the-Life Training
“Day-in-the-Life” training creates an interactive narrative that immerses learners in their potential roles. Unlike standalone quiz questions, this training strings multiple questions into a storyline.
Drill scenario
Drill scenarios involve a single question embedded in a short, realistic scenario where key parameters, like customer preferences, change with each iteration.
One-question scenario
A one-question scenario consists of a multiple choice question with a narrative presenting a concrete case to the learner, who must evaluate the provided information to determine the appropriate response.
