The Elixir of Engagement

It also includes links to missions and access to a drive folder with additional information. Once you unlock this trove of information, keep it handy! It will be updated prior to each episode.

Missions

Missions

Note: Do not complete mission until the end of the Episode. Episode 1 ends after you discover the password to open the initial PDF. This happens when you get to the The Fable of the Well diagram.

Storytelling is a fundamental way to educate and entertain. It is also powerful when audiences, students, and patrons participate in the storytelling process. As part of your requirement to advance to Episode 2 you will complete one of these storytelling missions.

Read the mission briefs and choose a mission that makes sense for you. Use Comic Life, Twine, LaPentor or any other tool from the Tools deck to create an engaging micro-narrative that somehow connects to your personal and/or professional aims. Alternately, feel free to write to Julian and propose a mission.

Every Mission Briefing will provide everything you need to succeed! Also, you will have future opportunities to engage with these tools, so you can learn one now, and another later.

Remember, learning to use the tool means you can also teach others in your community to use it!
