Course Stories, Episode #2: Business Law Barista: Engaging Students through Storytelling
In this episode of Course Stories, we listen to London Skiles and Bradley Forst discuss the narrative elements of Brad’s course, LAW 480: Business Law, which takes students on a journey of starting, growing, and selling a business. We also explore the varied experiences of moving to remote instruction in the midst of the COVID pandemic compared to the intentional process of quality online course design.
LAW480 uses a very intentional engagement strategy and the narratives from the class are dynamically represented via animations created by Ron Carranza. Check out the video Ron and Ricardo made after you listen to this course story.
