In this hands-on session, Christy Tucker shows instructional designers how to bring scenarios to life through strong characters and realistic dialogue. She demonstrates how small narrative choices—motivation, conflict, concrete details, and conversational language—shape believable learning experiences that drive behavior change. Participants practice crafting characters, revising dialogue, and transforming flat narration into engaging, emotionally resonant story moments. Christy also explains how to “show, not tell,” avoid overly perfect characters, and write scripts that feel authentic whether delivered by humans or AI voices. This practical workshop gives you tools to create story-driven learning that feels real, relevant, and rooted in your audience’s world.
