What is storytelling in e-learning?
Storytelling is The art of telling a story that will appeal to the consumer or, in this case, to the learners. It should be meaningful, easy to understand and facilitate learning. Telling a story is Bringing concepts to life, add an emotional factor to learning. Learners better retain the concepts covered, thus countering the Oblivion curve and are more easily involved in training.
Keeping your learner focused is one of the main objectives when creating training modules! Varying the content is therefore essential., because the use of different formats breaks the learning routine and keeps the learner committed to its training.
For example, The drawings allow you to get your message across in a precise and more fun way. That sometimes facilitates the transmission of a serious and/or delicate subject to discuss, such as prejudices around disability or explanations of reorganization measures. Story learning is that: learning through a story carried by images.
