Applying Movement Oriented Design to Create Educational Stories

Abstract

Teaching through story telling has been recognized as a pedagogical paradigm that enhances learning outcomes at many levels. Understanding life, science and even technological concepts becomes easier if the educational content is presented as a well-linked narrative. Movement Oriented Design (MOD) is a paradigm that views any presentation as a story telling artifact. From Aristotle's time we have known that an engaging story must have a good beginning, middle and end. The core component of any MOD-based presentation is a Movement, which is a micro story with its own Begin, Middle and End components. Technology enhanced teaching and learning systems are now widely used; our aim is to enhance the learning outcomes that can be obtained from such systems. This paper proposes that the Movement Oriented Design paradigm can be used to enhance the pedagogy of e-Learning, for it uses story telling at its core.

Authoring educational multimedia content using learning styles and story telling principles

“…MOD views every temporal presentation as a story, and it need not be a humanistic story -i.e. one involving human beings [1]. From the MOD perspective even this paper is a story.…”

“…However, how to create effective Educational Multimedia stories is yet to be fully explored. Movement Oriented Design (MOD) is a paradigm developed to systematize the creation of multimedia stories [1].…”

“…The objective of this example is to explain important aspects of electric current to high school students; it is taken almost verbatim from [1]. The MOD process is shown here for three stages.…”

“…However, authoring effective Educational Multimedia stories does not come naturally to most people. Movement Oriented Design (MOD) provides a framework for systematically developing Educational Multimedia using good story telling principles articulated by the masters of story telling principles; including Aristotle and Robert McKee [1].…”

“…Aynı zamanda bilginin bir formdan başka bir forma geçişi için de hikâye anlatımından faydalanılmaktadır. Hikâye anlatma, genel, bilimsel ve teknolojik konuların eğitiminde öğrenme çıktılarını yaygınlaştırmak için kullanılan güçlü bir pedagojik yaklaşımdır (Sharda, 2007). Hikâye anlatma, insan iletişiminin doğal bir yolu olup, insanların sosyal etkileşiminde kullanılan yaygın bir yöntemdir.…”
