I am currently reading Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath. While aimed at marketing there is much here that e-learning can use. I also have an old ‘Eagle’ annual (The Eagle was a comic of the ’50s in the UK) because I like the way they used comic graphics to attract and retain audience interest – sound like a familiar requirement for e-learning! BTW they also included a fair amount of learning in the form of 3D graphics – way ahead of their time, I think.

There is only one thing I would add to your list (though I’m sure it is implicit) and that is to test the content you produce to ensure it has the emotional impact you expect. Great work Clark, let’s make the L&D department one of emotional intensity.]]> Clark, I love this post. Your three key words seem to be meaningful, personal and visceral. We are natural learning animals and those adjectives tap into ‘why?’. There is only one thing I would add to your list (though I’m sure it is implicit) and that is to test the content you produce to ensure it has the emotional impact you expect. Great work Clark, let’s make the L&D department one of emotional intensity.

I especially putting it into practice. I am reading Brain Rules by John Medina and he made a point of being able to recall things better if they are done in the same environment. So if we are more ingrained in the business process, hopefully that will make recalling the information much easier for learners. After reading that chapter in the book and reading this, I can’t help but think building the experience has to be the future of learning design.

Kevin, I am very interested to see further discussions on the graphic novel approach. I think this could be a very interesting approach.

Looking forward to the possibility of discussing it with you guys at UP2US in a few weeks!

I’ve worked hard at your first three points for years, and am putting new emphasis on your last three. Specifically in using the graphic novel approach. I would argue that a well-drawn and well-written script can make eLearning an experience instead of a ‘course.’ The visual storytelling approach a graphic novel affords covers many of your points – personal, visceral, reduced text, and certainly better flow.

Good luck on getting a graphic novel approach on your project!
