Branching storytelling for learning

This is a branching story included in a Rise-based course on Open Research for Durham University library.

This story is designed to show why OR is important, and some of the ways that open research can be accessed – and some of the problems that might be faced along the way.

Notes

Working with the transfusion lead nurse, who provided extensive content for this module, I shaped the material into short chunks and included a variety of real-life scenarios to increase the impact of the messages in the learning, and make it clear to the learner what they had to do with the information presented.

I created a variety of different media and screen designs for this module, including interactive scenario walk-throughs, motion graphics and voice-overs.
