Show Proof that Stories Impact Learning - Tip #8

Small examples of stories in a lesson demonstrate to leaders, decision makers and bosses how stories impact learning.

This is how you can persuade your leaders and bosses to use stories and experiences in eLearning - This is the proof that stories work.....

How do stories impact recall, retention, application and transfer of knowledge? 







We asked over 1,000 participants to workshops, webinars and through a survey to compare Lessons A and B. 

Participants replies:

"The stories make the technical data more understandable."
"The tractor and trash bag help illustrate the thinness of the dripper lines."
"I remember the real-life examples and it makes it easy to apply the ideas."


Preview simple and very basic lessons, A and B. (Click here).

To prove that stories and real-life events impact learning positively, do a simple exercise and show it to your leaders and bosses:

  • Select and compare two small lessons.
  • One with purely static and factual data and the other one with some stories to relate the value of the data. Conduct a small test and obtain the results.
By doing this, you show proof.
