  3. What is Scenarios™? Scenarios is an e-learning tool from Indiana University and WisdomTools, Inc. that features: • story (case-based narratives) • asynchronous collaborative conversation • a highly interactive problem-based learning approach

  4. Scenarios: Deep Learning “Through the use of compelling stories—highly engaging experiential and cultural narratives—we move learners beyond content mastery and memorization to judgment and deep insight. Dr. Martin Siegel, CTO and Founder, WisdomTools, Inc. and School of Informatics, Indiana University.

  5. Scenarios: Authenticity Scenarios combine story and technology in case-based narratives that provide authentic contexts for asynchronous, collaborative conversations and group insights

  6. Scenarios: Context-based Scenarios facilitate development of learner strategy in settings where procedures are shades of grey, less than obvious and context-based, with a set of options rather than a single solution.

  7. What is ScenariosOnline? A Valencia Community College organization managing the development and delivery of Scenarios courses at Valencia and many other colleges.
