Instructional Goal

A wide range of learners, from teen to adult, are able to apply the basic narrative framework to storytelling in personal and professional settings.

Actual Learner Behavior

Learners miss opportunities to leverage storytelling in personal and professional settings. They have seen stories in books or movies but have not thought much about how those stories work.

Identified Need

A brief, atttention-grabbing, self-efficacy-focused introduction to the story arc to spark learner interest.

Design Theory: Gagné's nine events of instruction

Robert Gagné identified a pattern of instruction that helps learners learn: gain attention, set up objective, connect to prior learning, present new content along with suggestions for how to learn it, let the learner try and provide feedback, do a final assessment, and help the learner apply their new knowledge.

Attention and engagement

Video focuses attention while demonstrating the value of the content

Small, memorable interactions

Amination and a light touch make learning guidance more memorable

Practice

Transfer
