UPCOMING WEBINAR

January 8th - 11:30AM ET

Immersive Learning with the DREAM Framework

Immersive learning experiences engage learners emotionally and therefore leave longer-lasting memories. According to the American neuro-economist Paul Zak, immersion is "a neurologic state in which one is attentive to an experience and it resonates emotionally." How can we make learning more immersive?
Bernd Gibson’s DREAM Framework provides the five main elements to turn learning into an immersive experience: Drama, Relations, Emotion, Action and Meaning.
 
In this interactive webinar, Bernd will take participants into the world of Learning Experience Design in an intercultural context. Attendees will playfully engage with these five elements to create their own DREAM experience.
