Storytelling: from a primal instinct to an impactful learning tool

Learning scienceJuly 7, 2023

Storytelling. The term has become increasingly popular in recent years and is being used more consciously for a multitude of purposes, but in reality, it is as old as mankind. The first communications we can find, such as cave paintings, folk tales, and plays, are all forms of storytelling. After all, in those times, this was the only way to convey messages and knowledge. The urge to tell stories is within the human being as a kind of primal instinct. Thousands of years have passed since then and now we record everything in books, digital formats, presentations, videos and even VR. To say the least, we’ve become a lot more sophisticated in storytelling, the means we do so, and the applications for it. Nevertheless, storytelling is still an important part of who we are.

Learning scienceJuly 7, 2023

Now we’re going to talk about feedback. Not the feedback you get from your manager or director at the end of the year, but the feedback that is used in (corporate) learning to give information to the student after completing exercises or courses. What was good? What was wrong? And why? It isn’t exactly rocket science, but there’s definitely science behind it. And that knowledge is important to ensure that people learn as effectively and efficiently as possible.
