SEDA - Situation Based Learning Design

Situation-based Learning Design: A Research - inspired Model for Wildly Enhanced Performance

Presented by - Will Thalheimer from Work Learning Research

Will asks -"What do we want our learners to be able to do and in what situations do we want our learners to do those things?"

He proposed that SEDA is broken down into situation, evaluation, decision, and action. If any part of these components are missing in the process, it results in a breakdown and therefore missed opportunities in this type of design.

One Note: Will is excellent at engaging the audience and getting them to collaboratively learn in a instructor led environment.

Some Research that inspired his ideas include - how people learn/encode information (long term memory), the process of retrieval, and the time sequence of how learning becomes performing.

I will recap this post at the end of the session........more to come!
