SOFT SKILLS BRANCHING

While performing work tasks, students are sometimes interrupted by co-workers to problem-solve a situation, often involving interpersonal relationships. These narrative "interruptions" or "decision points" present the leaner with a problem. They also provide "plot developments" into the continuing storyline of EnterTech.

Within each decision point, the learner is presented a problem and then several possible actions or responses each with its own consequences or follow-up actions and responses. Students employ high order thinking skills, practice relationship skills, and explore reactions to different situations and personalities.

The decision points are a rich forum for teaching the soft skills deemed crucial by employers.
