Tips for TrainersHow to Increase E-learning Retention
Dave is a Corporate Trainer, aspiringto make it big in the world of e-learning.
Dave used to design his courses like most trainers...
Facts and examples, presented in a clear outline with quizzes and polls to ensure understanding.
Sometimes he would spice it up with charts, graphs and images.
But this approach would sometimes bore or confuse his on-line learners.
Dave knew he had important things to say and wanted to be successful.
So Dave looked for a better way.
Dave discovered storytelling.
Dave now structures each of his lessons in short story sequences, with an introduction, a problem, a solution and a conclusion.
Dave links together his various points using the storyline. It takesmore time, but is well worth it.
Storytelling allows Dave to connectwith his students on an emotional level.
The stories Dave tells helps his students relate course materials directly to their jobs.
When Dave tells a story, he activates more of the listener’s brain. They experience the story as if it is happening to them, thus becoming more meaningful.
His students are now much more engaged and they better understand and remember his e-courses.
Dave’s boss notices an improvement in his courses’ performance.
Dave is well on his way to ‘making it big’ in the e-learning world.
