  2. Storybase Foundation Story -based Storybase owes its foundation to several, well-established Instructional Design (ID) principles and models. 9 Structure Integration Application Guidance First Principles Story Demonstrate Coaching Activate Pebble-in-the-Pond Reflection 9 Gagne’s Nine Events << Home >> S2 - DKKTools (Davis, Kearney & Kim - EDG6328/Fall 2008/Dr. David Merrill

  3. “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. “ -- Albert Einstein << Home >> S3 - DKKTools (Davis, Kearney & Kim - EDG6328/Fall 2008/Dr. David Merrill

  4. Story is the core. Storybase uses story as the kernel of instruction. Drawing on the power of story-telling and the constructivist influence of problem-based learning (PBL), Storybase employs key story elements along with other proven instructional design models to help novices design effective instruction. Benefiting from the added motivation and relevance a story can provide, the resulting instruction promises to be more engaging. Using stories for learning does require a bit more effort and creativity to design and develop, however. Therefore, story-based learning may not be the right strategy for every type of learning goal. Stories are best suited for learning outcomes in the cognitive domain, especially those concepts, principles and processes that are “abstract”, “uninteresting or colorless”, or “difficult to appreciate”.

  6. Storybase uses Pebble-in-the-Pond. Storybase provides a design and development process that is inspired by the five phases of the Pebble-in-the-Pond instructional design model.

C /O and D/C are components of a scene. – which is part of a problem. Actions are also part of a scene and characters.
