Creating Scenarios Quickly

If you've been keeping up with the Rapid e-Learning Blog, this weeks post from Tom gives some good suggestions for creating quick e-Learning scenarios in your instruction. I know sometimes the week gets away from me and I don't get a chance to read his posts, but he not only gives some practical advice for creating the scenarios, but there is a wealth of examples that you can run through with great graphics and presentation but look relatively simple to make. The article deals with creating effective, branched scenarios that give the learner several open-ended choice to make and prove they know their content. Just for convenience, the link is http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/how-to-add-scenarios-to-your-rapid-elearning-courses/

In the same vein, I looked around for some other resources dealing with scenario-based learning and case-based learning and found this article. http://www.learningcircuits.org/2002/may2002/kindley.html
I don't think this article is as simple as the Rapid Blog, but it does go into some more detail and gives some good visual organizers for understanding parts of the process.
