Story Telling: Captivating the E-learners through strong narration by weaving a story around the content
Storytelling is a powerful tool to captivate the learners’ attention and break the monotony by engaging the learner both perceptually and emotionally. Storytelling creates curiosity and suspense with strong narration and thought-provoking plots. Weaving a story around the content with a conversational narrative tone as if the instructor is speaking to the learner and creating conflict and suspense keeps the learner engaged throughout the course.
