Storytelling with Saul

Just come back from a lunchtime presentation from Saul Carliner on the power of storytelling as applied to training design. Saul gave us a whistle-stop tour of design ethnography (looking at what people actually do vs. what you think they do or they say they do), story elicitation in interviews, simulations, cognitive task analysis and a bunch of other stuff.

Saul is talking about more than just straight storytelling - it's narrative, baby, narrative in all its richness. And there will be more on narrative tomorrow...
