Challenge : I serve as Director of Product Design at a nonprofit company that provides leadership   development for school leaders . Our programming is traditionally offered in person but since COVID- 19 , we have had to rapidly and strategically transition our programming to be 100 % online . One of   our concerns based on previous feedback on our Learning Management System was that we would   run the risk of offering a quickly created yet boring online learning experience . We have previously   learned through participant feedback that our LMS was not user - friendly and not engaging . So we   wanted to take the opportunity to test out something outside of our comfort zone with a series of “ fun   and engaging ” online activities that would be highly relevant and related to the focus of program   learning but also allow for some joy and fun . Specifically , I wanted to isolate one interactive activity   that we could include on our LMS home page . Personally speaking , there was also a challenge for   myself in creating the internal buy - in for any such projects as our organization tends to be very   conservative on the risk - taking scale , so I needed to be very thoughtful about what I suggested , to   whom and how . 

 Selection : I selected Storytelling as the basis for designing a new tool that would speak to the   hearts of our participants . The video in the course alluded to some of the very same reasons that I   chose Storytelling … it makes the learning more relevant and real and less abstract at the strategic   level . Storytelling is also a great technique to use for online learning because it demonstrates how   the learning comes alive in real life and brings “ color ” ( I think this was the word used in the video in   the course ) to learning that is otherwise theoretical . I considered multiple options : a written case   study ; a video interview ; a podcast style discussion infused with stories ; and other possible ways to   weave Storytelling into the learning . While we actually ended up using multiple ideas in multiple   ways ( video interviews and a podcast on our web site , for example ) , we decided on one particular   idea for the LMS home page . ( See next section . ) 

 Application : We decided on a Leadership Superhero Quiz . The quiz was designed based on our   organization ’s 5 levers of personal leadership . We turned each lever into a Superhero character , and   had a graphic artist design the five Superheroes . We created a quiz that asked participants to   answer a series of questions which would then result in “ Which Leadership Superhero are you ? ” and   a description of ( and superpowers ) of the resulting character . This approach appealed to our   participants ’ sense of self - discovery and was intended to bring some fun and joy to an otherwise   predictable and stale online learning experience . We piloted the quiz internally first ( yes , pilot , not   learning launch ! ) in order to get feedback from our internal staff on how our participants might   respond to the quiz . We “ tweaked ” it then rolled out organization - wide while launching with our   program participants . The quiz was also rolled out via our blog . 

 Insight : The main insight I personally gleaned was just how risk averse our organization is . I could   not believe the levels of approval and discussion that I had to go through to get the concept and final   quiz approved . Regarding the tool itself , our Evaluation Team did not implement any measure to get   specific feedback on the Quiz , despite my encouragement that we consider testing with a group of   participants first and/or soliciting explicit feedback on the Quiz . I would also say that while we used   characters for the quiz , we missed an opportunity to use Storytelling more broadly by applying plot   and character development / arc . The characters themselves were rich and juicy , but there lacked an   actual beginning , middle , and end to the experience . 

 Approach : Knowing what I know now , I will get a long head start on any future ideas that might   break our traditional mold , in the understanding that organizational readiness is low for anything   even remotely resembling innovation . I have been planning accordingly for the extensive   socialization and approvals required to pull even a small tool like this off . I would also say that as   stated above I would implement the full range of what Storytelling has to offer beyond just character :   plot , theme , conflict , moral of story , character arc , etc .
