Design issues for a scenario-based learning environment

This document outlines my thinking on the design of a scenario-based learning environment. The material presented falls into two distinct categories. These are presenting work completed so far and presenting current thinking on the design. As such, some of the material is based on experience over a number of years of using the approaches described and some is very tentative and needs further development.

The nature of a learning environment raises issues in many domains. These include educational issues and technical implementation issues. Although I endeavour to highlight the domain of issues, some of the boundaries are not always clear. Structure of the environment is impacted by the pedagogical techniques assumed or used.
