Stories
For course content, put everything in the form of a story. A story is a form that the human mind can process easily and make use of exceptionally well. The advantage of a story is that it leads the mind through a natural progression. This enables the mind to understand in a better way. It allows complex concepts to be seen as small steps that have built on top of one another through time in a natural progression and through a logical easy-to-comprehend path.
Besides showing natural progression of a complex concept in simple and easy-to-comprehend steps, a story enables the mind to expand its imagination further and point in the direction of the future perhaps adding to the current concept and further developing it. The story behind a concept can be thought of as the history of that concept. Stories are important for the mind, they enable it to function superbly.
