Scenario-Based Design

“Scenarios are stories.They are
 stories about people and their
  activities.” (John M. Carroll)


                               (Carroll, 1999)
Five reasons for scenario-based
            design
•   Vivid descriptions of experiences evoke reflection about design
    issues

•   Scenarios concretely fix and interpretation and a solution but are
    open-ended and easily revised

•   Scenarios can be written at multiple levels, from many
    perspectives and for many purposes

•   Scenarios can be abstracted and categorized

•   Scenarios anchor design discussion in activity and support
    participation among stakeholders and appropriate design
    outcomes.

                                                                      (Carroll, 1999)

You might write your story, make a video, use a cartoon, ...

You can work individually or collaboratively...

Ground your scenarios in: observed activity in related settings; by asking people
involved to contribute; your own experiences...

Some elements to include in scenarios

•   Setting — description of the starting state of the
    episode and objects that are involved

•   Actors

•   Goals

•   Actions — things that actors do

•   Events — things that happen to actors

•   Objects

                                                         (Carroll, 1999)
(Carroll, 1999)
Also
Think about what is missing in the example scenarios


What else would you want to know if you were
designing for the kinds of learning described?
Develop your own scenarios
Brainstorm components of your scenarios ( you may want to use
this template ) : http://goo.gl/Rmbwt

Actors (who is involved?), Goals (why?), Settings (where & when?), Objects (what
things are involved?), Actions (what happens to actors?), Events (what do actors do?),
Results (what learning is achieved?)

Develop a scenario/s (in whatever form you prefer).
Invite others to comment on your scenarios, do they make sense?
What else do they want to know?
Comment on others’ scenarios
(You can post and comment on scenarios here)
