Episode description

This week on IDIODC, Brent and Chris bring back on another special returning guest from a past episode. We wanted to revisit the great conversation from last episode on instructional comics, so we decided to bring back the awesome Kevin Thorn!

Kevin thorn is joining us again to discuss the power of instructional comics. In this appearance we'll focus on cultural differences and how presenting instruction through visual comic storytelling has a unique challenge when presented in a global environment. This conversation will also reinforce the necessity of truly understanding your audience and how focusing on culture can increases your chances of delivering a successful learning experience.

Fun Fact about dominKnow: We love comics too! With comics samples and comic eLearning templates, we encourage users to get creative and use engaging forms of learning for better learner retention.
