Description
From Confucius to Zuckerburg, people learn from each other by sharing experiences and stories. Nowadays, this fact becomes increasingly significant with the advent and continuous development of mobile learning, on-the-job learning support and communities of learners.
The challenge has been how to design learning points that are story-driven to help learners learn instantly. How do we use the power of story dynamics, both telling and listening, as antidotes to boring elearning programs?
Topics to cover:
- Gain insights from scientific research that prove how stories boost learning, retention and application
- Understand the dynamic structure of stories
- Design eLearning by superimposing story structures and classical rich content elearning
- Revitalizing learning objectives, lessons, exercises and test questions with stories
- Finding sources in the workplace for stories, anecdotes, meme, metaphors, etc.
- Learn the step-by-step approach of converting a small lesson into story-based eLearning
- Preview demos and examples
To be received in advance:PRE-WEBINAR STUDY KIT, white papers, demos and examples
