Learning environment

Distance learning

This is about an 120 hours course

Contents

1. a written story
2. a cartoon or cartoon story
3. presentation prepared and animated with presentation graphics and recorded
4. podcast
5. video story or short film

------------------------------------------

Story topics, for which the student himself always chooses a different implementation method, are:
1. the origin story of the company
2. an unpleasant story aimed at the company's personnel and/or stakeholders
3. recruitment story
4. the sales story of one of the company's products or product families
5. narrative strategy

It takes about 3 weeks to think about, write a script, and implement one story.

After the course, the student can independently create different types and variously productized, customer-oriented stories, for the use of personnel management, marketing and strategy.
He understands and knows how to use the value-added communication methods offered by stories.

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.

During the course, we will possibly organize 1-2 story-based clinic-type learning meetings online (or possibly also as a hybrid) if, for example, some students are eager to make a slightly larger video story as team learning

Each student prepares a self-evaluation of his own story, and in addition, each story is also peer-reviewed.
