Googling this subject, one finds there’s a lot of links to check out, from highly “technical” academic analysis, to quick and dirty little 2 page guides. In addition to Daniel Pink links, and the “Story-Based Technical and Compliance eLearning Design Workshop” offered by Vignettes Learning… already referred to here.

Since we are doing narrative based learning in our prezi, we either need to do a lot of research on what others say “it should be”, or have faith that somehow we already know what “it should be”, and can proceed to “do it”. Or try to mix the appropriate amount of each into an effective strategy. Which is a core challenge in today’s “all knowledge is available” world.

How do we know if we know what we really need to know? Or, how do we know if what we know is as good as, or better than, what is out there in the cloud awaiting research and curating? And is a link from a few years ago, still “current” in terms of state of the knowledge?

One could spend ALL one’s time on trying to keep current and knowledgable. This implies a need for an effective strategy to avoid just “learning” all the time…so that there’s time left for doing. Or in today’s and tomorrow’s world is learning in some way “doing”?

Clearly there’s going to be needs for those who perform top quality curation to answer those kind of questions.
