New Scenario-Question Generator — Version 5

I’ve significantly improved my Scenario-Question Generator Template, now in Version 5.

Here it is: https://www.worklearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Scenario-Questions-Generator-v5.docx

 

 

This is the fifth generation of the template. It is designed to help you think through how to craft a scenario question that works.

The template specifically:

  • Helps generate questions that distinguish between those who can make work decisions and those who can’t.
  • Encourages a focus on work issues and work settings.
  • Pushes you to be specific about your learning objectives.
  • Nudges you to highlight common mistakes that might be overlooked.
  • Aligns with the SEDA model’s insistence that learners ought to be able to EVALUATE realistic situations.
  • Reminds scenario-writers to avoid unnecessary hints that short-circuit cognition.
  • Prompts scenario designs that require deeper cognitive processing than most multiple-choice approaches.
  • Provides a detailed example scenario question.
  • Provides a detailed worked-example of a scenario question.

Stay Tuned for my AI-Scenario-Question-Development Tool, now in production. 

Also, I’m working with Shilpa Subramaniam to build a Scenario-Question Writing Clinic for November 2026.
