2019 - 10 - 12 - Comic Book As Instruction Example

I've always loved comic books and graphic novels. In addition to being works of art, they can also be an effective instructional medium that can leverage storytelling and scenario really well. One great example of this is the comic "Radio an Illustrated Guide" by Ira Glass and Jessica Abel. In addition to teaching a bit about radio production and audio editing the comic also discusses good storytelling in audio. Unfortunately, the paper copy is out of print, there are some used ones on Amazon but you can get a digital copy for $2 from the This American Life website. https://store.thisamericanlife.org/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RADIO%3AANILLUSTRATEDGUIDEPDF While I was pulling the comic off my shelves I also decided to share another book about the art of Instructional design that is out of print and I only share with those I think deserve it. NO link for that book but if you watch the video or listen to the podcast you'll get the name of the book so you can hunt for it on Amazon.
