Typical content-driven scripting hinders eLearning engagement. Instead, consider designing character-driven narratives that engage learners by creating suspense.
Participants in this session will examine the move from content-driven to character-driven eLearning design. You’ll learn how to employ techniques used in screenwriting to transform stale eLearning modules into compelling, engaging, and worthwhile learning experiences.
In this session, you will learn:
- What makes compelling characters
- How to write meaningful dialogue
- How to create suspense in scripting
- How to use conflict to engage learners
