Break-out Session Summaries
All Workshop Notes Grouped by Themes the Breakout Groups were asked
to Address. This document presents the unedited notes that
were taken during each breakout session. It is organized around the
four main themes that breakout groups were asked to address. The
four main themes are; definition/theory, research issues, research
approach, and real world applications of storytelling method
research. The four breakout groups were; case-based method of
instruction, narrative-based, problem-based, and scenario-based.
All workshop notes are grouped by storytelling method
(case-based, narrative-based, problem-based, and scenario-based).
Each groups’ comments for all key themes
(definition/theory, research issues, research approach, and real
world applications) are clustered here.
