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.
