Great advice, Chris. You do need a way to source meaningful practice, and while I’ve usually expected LXDs to be able to infer, you are right that it’s far better to source from SMEs. Thanks for the insight!

But rather than a missing nuance, I see a missing elephant — assessment. Stories and motivations and tutorials have a nice feature. Once developed, they can be used over and over. Good assessments — ones that provide clear measures of performance of specific behavior — are not only very challenging to build, they have a very limited lifespan. They can’t be reused on the same learner. Thanks to the Internet, it’s hard to get more than a year out of them before they’re common knowledge. Generating variants with changed names and numbers is easily done in by cram courses on “how to ace the cosmetology performance exam.” So besides objectives and stories, another important thing to collect from SMEs, on a continuing basis, in detail, are actual everyday problems, and the solutions that followed, good and bad.
