Also, the site was easy to navigate and jump from lesson to lesson, go back and reread if necessary. The dashboard is a good feature with all your details in one place. The layout of the site is clear and uncluttered with lots of white space, so easy on the eye!

The Magic of Storytelling
Thank you for this course. I liked the way the information was organized to explain the different aspects of storytelling. I thought the Ted Talk was great and the learning styles quiz was interesting. I would have loved more content in each unit e.g. actual stories and how they have been used in situations to deliver a message or promote a particular way of thinking, links to further reading, examples of story structure, building plot and characters etc. Maybe there would be more of this type of content in the next course in this series. I teacher primary children so I use stories a lot for all sorts of reasons and I have recently started writing stories and exchanging them with my daughter so I will tell her about the Ted Talk. Thanks!
