Software, scenarios, and storytelling: deliverables from the e-CDF project "tools for delivering scenario-based e-Learning both locally and across the internet"

Paper

This presentation will discuss the deliverables from the one-year eCDF project outlined in the title.  The e-Learning software packages, PBL-interactive and Challenge FRAP will be demonstrated, along with example scenarios and templates.  Both pieces of software support and facilitate a problem-based learning paradigm within any subject area.  Issues dealing with embedding this technology and the paradigm it supports within Tertiary Institutions will also be covered.

Dr Terry Stewart has used scenario-based learning within his own discipline for over 20 years, an activity which won him a National Tertiary Teaching Award for innovation in 2003.  With this background, he won and managed a TEC eCDF grant assisting to develop specific scenario-based learning software for use over the Internet.
