Lifelong learning through digital storytelling in corporate training

Abstract

In this paper we discuss collaborative learning strategies based on the use of digital stories in corporate training and lifelong learning. The text starts with a concise review on theoretical and technical foundations about the use of digital technologies in collaborative strategies in lifelong learning. We will also discuss if the corporate training may be improved by the use of individual audio-visual experience in learning process. Careful planning, scripting and production of audio-visual digital stories can help in the construction of collaborative learning spaces in which adults are in the context of vocational training throughout life. Our analysis concludes emphasizing on the need to experience the routing performance of digital stories in the context of corporate training, following the reference levels mentioned here, so we can have in a future more theoretical and empirical elements for the validation and conceptualization in the use of digital stories in the context of corporate training. Ultimately we believe that lifelong learning can be improved with the use of strategies that promote the production of personal audio-visual for those involved in teaching and learning process in organizational context. Keywords: story telling, corporate education, cooperative learning, lifelong learning, teaching methods, audio visual aids.

Interdisciplinary Learner Engagement: Bridging Corporate Training and K-12 Education

“…There are different ways to use storytelling in corporate training. Digital storytelling (Hack, Ramos, Pinto, & Freitas, 2015) requires learners to interact with each other remotely, through online learning management systems such as StoryLearn (Hack et al, 2015), to evoke emotional connections to content and skills. Another form of storytelling is for learners to tell stories in-person about their experiences so that there is direct engagement with other learners who can then sympathize with the sharer's experience.…”

“…The important role technology plays in learner engagement is becoming an important way to educate all types of learners. Edmaker develops online training programs for companies; Chan et al (2009) developed a college course around building affordable training programs for companies; and Hack et al (2015) conducted research on digital storytelling as an effective way to connect trainings to employee's personal needs. Teacher participant #2 incorporates coding and programming into her engineering course to give students hands-on experience when working with software and robotics.…”
