Abstract
To compensate for the lack of human presence in online courses, consider adding narrative story elements to your eLearning that situates the learner in immersive, real-world scenarios. Framing learning in the context of relatable stories can add tremendous value and enjoyment to students instruction. Employ an appropriate course voice that attracts users to the content, inviting them to explore, rather than overwhelming them with information.
