10 Factors Why Interactive Stories Work in Learning

How do we make boring technical, compliance, process and people training more engaging? Stories is an instructional method that helps make content real, emotional, compelling and applicable. In this workshop, you will learn the step-by- step process of using interactive stories and combining them with factual content to create easy and faster to learn eLearning, presentations and webinars.

Start relating your content to story events. Utilize the Story-Based Learning Design approach. Learn how to:

  • Transform and re-energize your learning programs
  • Raise learners’ interactivity levels
  • Chunk and boil down your learning material to provide much greater impact
  • Create faster, easier and more effective learning
  • Cut training time significantly and improve learners’ performance
  • Improve content retention among learners

The Story-based Learning Design Workshop enables you to convert existing or new Learning content into stimulating learning experiences.

Workshop participants learn how to transform procedures, products, policies, processes, technical data, rules and regulations into easy and immersive elearning.

You will develop skills in creating interactive and discovery- learning methods where the content is embedded in real-life events. Participants practice the application of the Story-Based Design methods using interesting, provocative and highly-engaging success stories, customer complaints, product recalls, penalties, legal infractions, lawsuits, product defects, lost sales, quick solutions, etc. to help learners turn factual information into personalized and meaningful learning experiences.

At the end of the workshop, participants will have gained the knowledge and confidence to apply a new set of skills to revolutionize their learning programs using the story-based methods learned.
