Name of the Workshop: Instructional Storytelling for Trainers & Content Developers

Who Should Attend?

  • Trainers/Senior Trainers/Training Managers, Instructional Designers and Content Developers/Writers with at least 1 year of training/content development/writing experience*.

    * (Formal knowledge of Instructional Design is not required. This training would address the ID principles needed for instructional storytelling.)

Objective of the Workshop:
At the end of the training the participants will be able to design effective instructional stories for training/eLearning content by synthesizing the concepts of storytelling with the relevant instructional design principles.

Brief:
Instructional Storytelling is a craft that requires the deft touch of an artist as well as a logician. We all know that a well-told instructional story can enable a learner to learn difficult concepts faster and retain them better. Most trainers and training creators battle with the questions - where to use a story, how to write a story that could truly bind the audience, and how to maintain the delicate balance of education and entertainment.

The good news is that instructional storytelling is more of a craft than an art and hence can be learned and perfected with practice. What it requires is a step-by-step logical process of deduction and creation. This training workshop helps you develop the skill to design effective instructional stories for different types of content.

Those interested can learn more about instructional storytelling by reading the Wavelength Article, "The Long and Short of Instructional Storytelling".

Views of Earlier Participants:

It was a very different and good experience. I had never been exposed to any information about Instructional Design earlier. Instructional Storytelling was a good way to become introduced to instructional design to an extent. I found the information on the structure of instructional storytelling very helpful and systematic. I will attempt to apply it very soon."   Swati Menon - Assistant Manager, Keane Worldzen.

The training was excellent. While we have been (as trainers) using stories in our trainings, we could see the rational, scientific way of doing the same, after this training. The learning has been immense and the application potential of this learning is very high."   DMR Panda - Senior Faculty, Power Management Institute, NTPC.

Provided good clarity on the storytelling model and the framework of storytelling."  Shalini Srivastava - Asst. Manager Training, Bharti Airtel Ltd.

“The concept is unique. As the facilitator said, Storytelling is a craft. We learnt the concepts that would help us create better stories and hence enhance learning. Good Training."   Perineeta Malhotra - Deputy Manager, Keane Worldzen.

“This is a good workshop. The trainer’s hands-on experience with the subject added a lot of value."  Poulomee Moulik - Manager, Organizational Learning, Manpower India.
