Preventing Workplace Violence: E-Learning Scenarios #57

E-Learning Workplace Violence #57: Challenge | Recap

What’s the first word that pops into your mind when you hear “compliance training?” 

If you’re like most course designers (and learners), you know that compliance training isn't typically where one finds showcase e-learning examples.

That makes sense. Most compliance courses are designed to share information and create awareness more than change behaviors. Some topics, such as preventing workplace violence, can be designed as information- and performance-based courses.

The challenge for course designers is striking the balance between information sharing and relevant interactions. And that’s what this week’s e-learning challenge is all about!

Challenge of the week

This week your challenge is to show scenario examples designed to prevent or address workplace violence.

You can structure your demo any way you like—just be sure to include some type of scenario.

If you’re looking for a practical model, take a look at Tom’s 3-C scenario model. We use this model a lot in our workshops because it’s simple and works with any content.

Thanks to Raye Shilen for suggesting this week's challenge topic.

      We need the dough... So bad it's good. Love the graphics as well. But how was our gingerbread man walking around the streets with an axe? Sounds like an unsafe 'hood.

        Glad you enjoyed it, Kristin! I guess workplace violence isn't limited to the good 'hoods anymore. :)

      Your humor just gets me. I love the graphics. I'm a fan of using vector images with raster if done tastefully. I think you hit the nail on the head.

      Good one Jackie! I did it a couple of times just to see what would happen if I made a different choice. I don't think I can look at gingerbread men the same way now.....

        Thanks, Matt! Yeah, Dan had a lot of gingerbread-related comments after he went through it. Clearly made an impression on him.

      Mel... We'll thought out and great work!
      I loved the city scenario and the different cases, however I couldn't view the last case before it told me mission complete...

        Thank you! Ah, Daniel you may have to get rid of cookies. I updated this one a bit ago. As soon as you X out of the final scenario feedback it has a trigger that launches the mission complete layer. There is no way that it would launch unless you have viewed all the correct feedback. You could have possibly just hit the x really fast on the final correct layer too.

      Really like the open feeling you created without the borders. I need to do that more often.

        I just started doing it! I'm trying to give it less of a templatey feel.

      Melissa,

      I loved your multiple scenarios. Unfortunately, I was unable to help Thomas with the stalker! I agree, coming up with the scenario was much harder than creating it in Storyline.

      Enjoyed the context for each!

        Thank you, Richard. I feel like this was a really good challenge for me to improve my skills in building scenarios. I'd really like to make a more realistic/immersive one like the taxi one.
  • As an aside, how great is it that we can now 'like' comments and reply directly to someone else's comment!
  • These are great! I love the characters that Matt chose and the scenarios. I also really enjoyed the opening for Kristin's

    My biggest fear is that I am going to wind up with almost the same content/look feel as someone else. I am glad that has not happened yet!

      HA, you'll probably rock this challenge with a cool 8bit game if I know you!

        I didn't. :( I went for something more traditional but with a bit of my fun style.

      Thanks Mel. Your demos are always terrific, so I know you'll come up with something great! One of the great things I find with the challenges is that even if I'm stuck for ideas the demos seem to get the ideas flowing.

      I wouldn't worry about similar looks. We're all using roughly the same characters and starting templates.

      Poor Atsumi, right? She's starred in some seriously amazing and horrible e-learning courses the past two years. Wonder how she handles that with her agents:-)

      Great work on the taxi dashboard Kristen. It felt like I was in the cab!

      Nice one Kristin, I enjoyed the scenario and love the background sound as well. Obviously plenty of work, we'll done!

      Kristin,

      Nice job. I really enjoyed your use of background sound and the context of cab drivers. That is a job that I would never do... too crazy!

      Thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks Jackie! I wanted to use Tom's 3-C's - Challenge, Choice, Consequence in the design and this was a good challenge for that.

      Nice work Matt. I like the way the choices are worded. All seem reasonable options.

      Matt,

      Nice job! I really liked your scenario and follow up feedback.
      I guess it's not OK to just beat the bully up huh? :)

        Thanks Richard! I didn't think of that, maybe I need another option :P

      That's how it's done Matt! Agree with Jackie and David. The feedback per choice makes all the difference!
  • Any chance someone would like to turn the Preventing Workplace Violence scenarios into a course and sell it on LuckyELK.com? I would be interested to work with anyone who would like to.
