Category: Education
Duration: 00:38:34

Description:

Since the dawn of history, people have been telling stories. Obviously, because the recorded history we have is in the format of a story. Now Ross Garner, Ross Dickie and David from the Mind Tools L&D Podcast crew are applying that technique to learning. 

We discuss: 

  • The benefits of storytelling for learning 
  • Examples of effective storytelling at work
  • How new technologies give us exciting opportunities to craft new tales!

During the discussion, Ross Garner discussed an article from The Guardian. You can read it here: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/jan/15/story-lines-facts 

In ‘What I Learnt This Week’, Ross Dickie discussed why it’s so hard to fix electronics: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Dmp79iTEVqizinjOmjGpP?si=TeXVHG_CTKuE4ZGlXlBWiA

And Ross Garner recommended Patti Shanks’ book Write Better Multiple-Choice Questions to Assess Learning.
