Change Behaviour By Asking the Right Questions

Our Writing Effective Scenario Questions Guide takes you through our process for creating effective scenario questions.

How often do you encourage your learners to practice their new skills? If you want to meet your project goal you often need your learners to adjust their behaviour to align with it. Knowledge acquisition is important but the magic happens when behaviour shifts. Scenario questions are a great way to achieve this.

Writing scenario questions can be challenging. Where do you start? How do you make them engaging? How do you ensure that they meet the project goal?

At Belvista Studios we have been writing scenario questions for years. We have learnt what works, what does not and the techniques that will make your job 100 times easier (not to mention the epic impact it will have on your projects, learners and clients!).

This guide shares our process for writing scenario questions, empowering you to apply it to your own projects and in turn, increasing the impact of your learning solutions.

Our team has worked on hundreds of scenario questions and over time we have learnt what works and what does not. This has come from client feedback, learning from our mistakes and experimenting.
