Focus, understand, and remember with visual storytelling

One of the toughest challenges for any instructor is engaging learners with their training program. Distracted, bored learners do not learn effectively. And we’re positive that you want to deliver engaging learning experiences to your team.

We put our expertise in visual storytelling into practice and incorporate it into our eLearning solutions. Your team members just need to fasten their seat belts and enjoy the learning ride! Our written context, illustrations, and animated videos will keep them highly motivated and focused.

Our custom visual stories will improve the retention of new knowledge in the long-term memory of your learners. As humans, we understand and remember information better if it is presented visually.

Building knowledge through similarities

We know that visuals produce a faster and stronger reaction in learners than words. That’s why we tell stories with visuals.

We outline the story based on your learning objectives. For instance, each video in a series of animated videos that we create can tackle a learning objective. Put together, the series of videos covers all the objectives. Our videos are easy to search for in the future if your learners need to review a specific lesson.

To develop visual stories that your team members can relate to, we research their motivations, interests, and language. Then we use characters and other elements that align with those variables. We try to use characters and elements that resemble ones that they can find in your organization.

Metaphors help your team absorb new concepts by using concepts they already know. Therefore, we use metaphors to offer them an intuitive learning experience.

Visual stories like no other

Here’s how we give you training solutions with unique visual stories:

The visuals we create for you don’t fit any other organization.
We customize them to your mission, vision, values, goals, and the characteristics of your team.
Our visuals do, however, reflect the human experience in general.
We use archetypal characters—or types of characters with common characteristics—to convey the story’s message.
We tie stories very closely to your learning objectives to teach lessons more effectively.
And we treasure details and use them to boost knowledge through the visual stories we tell. Details make our stories credible and moving—therefore engaging and effective.

Overall, we work to deliver you the most impactful stories tailored to your team.

FAQs

There’s no better way of explaining something than through a story. It’s how we understand the world around us—with characters, settings, beginnings, middles, and ends. In our context, visual storytelling is a strategy to nurture an emotional connection between learners and eLearning solutions.
With illustrations and animations, we build a logical structure for the story to maximize your team members’ memory. We also use conflict, challenge, tension, and problem resolution to help them resonate with our visual stories.

A visual story—just like any story—has a beginning, a middle, and an end.
- The beginning introduces the problem.
- The middle is all about the challenge of solving the problem.
- The end is what comes out of solving the problem.
In the case of animated videos, our designers use techniques to bring out the emotions in your learners during training:
- Close-ups, which make them feel intrigued and focused on what you might reveal next—visuals and audio are curiosity catchers
- Audio effects, which augment emotions and grab attention
Sure! Online training solutions with video-based stories can—and should—include knowledge assessments. An interactive quiz may be a nice way to verify what your team learned. And that applies even when visual storytelling is the strategy.

What’s peculiar about visual storytelling in eLearning is that the assessment quizzes are about the story. And humans connect very well with captivating stories—the exact kind of visual stories we deliver!
