Press Release Summary = Ray Jimenez presents workshop on Scenario-Based Learning
(SBL), proven high-discovery and real-life methods of learning while reducing cost
of interactivity and development time. He demonstrates constructing SBLs
successfully with live demos, examples, skills and templates.

Press Release Body = Pasadena, California March 16, 2007e-Learning expert Dr. Ray
Jimenez presents a hands-on and methodological approach to Creating a Highly
Engaging Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) Workshop-decreasing costs and development
time. Using SBLs put the learners on the spot through high-interactive and
high-discovery methods of learning. The workshop covers extending SBLs from
simulated events to real-life application and identifying where SBLs work the best
in job-related learning demands. Workshops start on June 5, 2007 and premieres in
New York City, NY.

Based on Dr. Jimenez's upcoming book, Sex and Violence in e-Learning, the workshop
discusses understanding models of SBLs. Participants will learn: how to create
powerful, engaging and provocative stories and scenarios; how to add conflict,
challenges, characters, and themes to meet learning objectives; construct SBLs for
different types of training, e.g. sales, compliance, technical, software,
etc.;develop SBLs faster and at lower costs; select the right type of simulation
software and delivery methods.

"Engaging Scenario-Based e-Learning" means using primal emotions of conflict, pain,
and pleasure which motivate learners. Without these emotions and characters embedded
in SBLs, they become boring and fail to "engage the learners", according to Dr.
Jimenez.

Participants will have the following take-aways worth over $500:
. Advance Workshop Activity: "My most embarrassing moment taught me."
Ray Jimenez will host an advance social-networking through a WIKI to involve

moment taught me." The selected winner (participant, peer-rated) will receive $1,000
worth of services to produce a mini-SBL provided by Ray Jimenez.
. Reference hand-out on Scenario-Based Learning (SBL)
