How To Get Scenario Branching Under Control... NOW!

The Scenario Secrets Podcast explores this question: How are instructional designers like us, who can’t sit back and accept the status quo, who are striving to realize our own creative potential, how do we work in a way that lets us truly create and contribute and make an impact that we can be proud of,.... while… at the same time, fall in love with the process?Hi, my name is Anna Sabramowicz. I'm an instructional designer and coach. This podcast is my journey. Join me as I reflect on my work, my student’s work, engage in experiments and draw lessons from conversations with experts.

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST Here is my hypothesis about feedback given to learners... It falls on deaf ears, at best they quickly skip over it to get to the next good part, or at worst they feel annoyed with it and resent the designer for being so patronizing.

What It Really Means To Be a Lifelong Learner

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST Conflict is a beautiful thing, it's the thing that makes the story worthwhile... if there was no conflict there'd be no story. But this might be the most challenging part of your interactive experience... but it doesn't have to involve other scenes, other people, high drama... sometimes the best conflict is all in our characters head.  To learn more Interactive Storytelling: https://scenariosecrets.com/ ABOUT:  Anna Sabramowicz is an instructional designer and coach.

Persistence and Creativity in Storytelling | One woman's journey 

THE SCENARIO SECRETS PODCAST My number one issue was overcomplicating stories, but also not asking enough why questions - why does the hero want this? Why are they not going after it right now? What's getting in their way? All of these help you craft a better hero that all kinds of people can relate to, and help your story have meaning and stickiness in their minds. Inner motivation is really the key to creating a relatable character in my opinion. Enjoy this last episode on the "hero" but certainly not the last on storytelling! Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.  To learn more Interactive Storytelling: https://scenariosecrets.com/ To talk about joining my coaching program: https://calendly.com/elearningsecrets/45m-call ABOUT:  Anna Sabramowicz is an instructional designer and coach.
