“The bio-metamorphosis is needed…“ Yikes! What is this? (The learner)

• Why do we use complex words?
• Can we avoid them?
• How?

Jargons, techie, procedural, product specs, scientific and legal terms are just a few examples of complex words.

Such content, if not translated into simple-to-understand ways become stumbling blocks in learning and application.

Metaphors are story methods that translate complex ideas into easily understandable day-to-day form.

They help learners and your audience understand your ideas without getting stuck with technical words, definitions and applications.

In this webinar you will learn the answers to these questions:

1. Why are jargons and technical word series cognitive learning blocks?
2. How do you conduct a simple test that shows metaphor works?
3. How do you create metaphor, a representation of your ideas that simplifies the meaning?
4. What are the building blocks of metaphors?
5. How do you find metaphors for legal, technical, financial, compliance and scientific concepts?
6. How do you insert metaphors in your content, presentations and eLearning to motivate learners?
