I was tasked to design, develop, and deliver a four-month curriculum on moral and critical reasoning to a large group of learners.

After a few weekly sessions, I gathered formative assessment feedback from the learners. One common theme: incorporate more video. 

This week's scenario revolved around a racing team who's unsure whether to race on a given day. While the weather may cause their engine to fail, the stakes for a potential win are extremely high. Without spoiling too much, the scenario is based on a famous engineering disaster.

 The goals for this session were for learners to:

1. Discuss multiple possible courses of action in a scenario with ethical components

2. Use critical reasoning to navigate difficult choices

3. Apply lessons from the scenario to real-world events

Since this particular lesson, an adaptation of an HBR case study, got pretty technical, it was a good opportunity to present the scenario through a video to increase learner engagement.

As a result, I scripted, filmed, VOed, and edited a 20-minute scenario training video over the course of about two weeks. 

I was able to turn a lack of budget into an asset, since I recruited volunteers from the group of learners to play roles in the video.

Throughout the video, there are pause points to discuss key concepts. After ensuring learner comprehension through these, I facilitated a group discussion/debate about possible outcomes. 

Many learners came up to me afterward and let me know that they felt they had learned the most from this lesson out of any in the curriculum.
