eLearning programs in organizations are primarily focused on empowering its people. Competencies for immediate on-the-job applications, expertise, and knowledge infused into sales and profits, customer service, efficient systems and adherence to regulations are highly critical for employee performance and legal compliance.

eLearning programs - products, applications, processes, software, people skills,onboarding, etc.and compliance to government regulations– are fundamental, indispensable and pivotal to the success or failure of any business.

Even with well-intentioned learning thrusts, these programs may become simple “massive data dumps” if not properly managed. Enormous statistical and factual content do not captivate learners. “Boring,” “Difficult to retain,” “Hard to grasp,” and “Long,” are common complaints you hear. Learners end up frustrated and unable to grasp and retain critical content for applying to their jobs.



Re-energize and transform elearning programs using hyper story-based methods. Make them shorter, easier and faster for the learner.

Start relating your content to hyper stories. Utilize the Hyper Story-Based eLearning Design approach. Learn how to:

  • Transform and re-energize your elearning programs
  • Raise learners’ interactivity levels
  • Chunk and boil down your learning material to provide much greater impact
  • Create faster, easier and more effective learning
  • Cut training time significantly and improve learners’ performance
  • Improve content retention among learners

This innovative learning design and delivery method is a proven way to improve content retention.


The Hyper Story-based eLearning Design Online Workshop enables you to convert existing or new eLearning content into stimulating learning experiences.

Workshop participants learn how to transform procedures, products, policies, processes, technical data, rules and regulations into easy and immersive eLearning.

You will develop skills in creating interactive and discovery-learning methods where the content is embedded in real-life events. Participants practice the application of the Hyper Story-Based Design methods using interesting, provocative and highly-engaging success stories, customer complaints, product recalls, penalties, legal infractions, lawsuits, product defects, lost sales, quick solutions, etc. to help learners turn factual information into personalized and meaningful learning experiences.

At the end of the workshop, participants will have gained the knowledge and confidence to apply a new set of skills to revolutionize their eLearning programs using the hyper story-based methods learned.
