Transforming Learning

What is a Learning Story Experience?

A learning story welcomes everyone, regardless of experience and ability to the same starting point —where learners embark on a journey, building and revealing knowledge, perspective, and recognition of purpose through dynamic changes to an outcome.

Story uniquely among the tools of persuasion offers the ability to shape the knowledge, perspectives, behaviors, and outcomes of the learner in the near and long term. A learning story is not a step by step process. A learning story is dynamic, a series of events that present change. A learning story leverages characters, plot, and themes to convey recognition of an essential truth, new knowledge, or understanding a core value — one that the learner needs to carry forward and propagate in their work experience.
