Stories
Good instructors often tell stories and effective learners frequently remember
the stories better than any other part of the course. Such stories are an indispensable
part of much soft-skills training.
If the words and tone of voice of the instructor are essential ingredients
in classroom learning—well then, you had better find a way to include them
in your online training. Probably the most important use of audio is to tell
stories.
This example, Leadership in everyday life, goes beyond just listening to a story. At the end, learners are
invited to share a story of their own. In this way, learners become active
participants.
