Storytelling is so effective because it “tricks” the brain into absorbing new information by decreasing its cognitive load and increasing retention. Chances are that the design was every bit as eye-catching as the story, with bright pictures and dynamic characters. Use color theory to elicit a certain emotion from your learners.

An excellent post from Leigh Blackall at Learn Online , which includes a break down of the three well- established learning theories (which, as we know, inform our instructional design), is built around the premise that social media is a product of social constructivism yet is being (mis)adopted into behaviorist practices.

I suggest that we need to engage the learner in the learning experience before we open them up cognitively. We know that activating relevant knowledge makes learning more effective, but here the effort is to open them up emotionally first. A second step is to help contextualize the learning in the bigger picture.

A lot of what I specialised in when I moved into this new career was leveraging how you can use graphic design to help people learn. When I’m working with instructional designers, I talk a lot about learning theory and how visuals can help, particularly from the aspect of cognitive load. It does depend on the client.
