Here
are some excerpts from real-life samples of my
work. Each of them highlights a different aspect
of our approach, and all of them combine to provide
a more complete picture to our results and their
benefits.
E-Learning
with Dramatization
These are slides from an e-learning course that
infused the learning content within an ongoing
dramatization, making the training as a whole
both more effective and more memorable.
|
|
This
course trains support engineers on a remote-access
software application.
The entire training takes place inside a
drama: a support enginner uses the software
to help a distrustful, problematic customer.
|
The
final result was an enjoyable experience for the
learners as they were entertained by the story
and assimilated the training content quickly.
Even more importantly than learning how to use
the software, the students learned how to bring
about complete customer satisfaction.
Interactive
Storytelling in Training
Part
of the same e-learning course mentioned above,
this lesson put the learner in the seat of the
support technician. As the learner, you now had
to be the one to deal with the problematic customer
and help resolve his issue.
|
|
|
| Through
simulations, learners practiced what they
learned in the previous lessons. |
|
During
the simulation,, the customer would interrupt
the procedures with questions expressing
his impatience and distrust. |
You
may be able to operate the software, but can
you handle the customer? This interactive lesson
made sure that you learned how to do both. It
clearly demonstrates the great effectiveness of
role-playing and interactive storytelling in adult
learning..
Showcasing
the Story
Within
the content, the learning topic sometimes inherently
contains a story that we can highlight in order
to deliver the content more effectively. That
was the case in this lesson created for the Vatican
Museums.
The main objective of this lesson was to communicate
the value and enjoyment of the Sistine Chapel
artwork that was not painted by Michaelangelo.
This lesson focuses on one of those paintings.
|
|
The
painting itself illustrates several stories,
and the e-learning accomplished its objective
by drawing the viewer into these narratives. |
Whenever
the learning content itself contains some kind
of story, it's an opportunity to engage the learner
more strongly. In showcasing this story, we made
the e-learning both fun and enlightening.

by clicking HERE.
Training with Visual Language
In
this e-learning lesson about travel budgeting,
sensory communication via images and audio make
the learning experience much more effective.
|
|
These
mini-stories were short instances of different
characters that represented some of the
ideas that we wanted to communicate. |
This
lesson also demonstrates a multi-sensory
approach to learning, relying on visual
language, audio and interactivity to impactfully
deliver the learning content. |

to Rome," by clicking HERE.
Technical
Content for Non-Technical Students
This
example shows how visual language, storytelling
and instructional design can make technical content
both understandable and highly enjoyable for non-technical
learners.
|
|
We
include dramatic vehicles and narrative
flow within the e-learning lesson, employing
a very visual language to communicate technical
content to a non-technical audience.. |

Slow!" by clicking HERE.
What
Can Be Accomplished
If I can take remote access software, Renaissance
painting, travel budgeting and computer optimization
and make them into engaging stories that train
effectively, then I can also turn your content
into training that will captivate and educate
your learners.
