From earliest childhood onwards, they captivate us and we never seem to get tired of them. Why is that?

In this paper we'll be thinking about answers to these questions, looking at what makes stories work and keeps people coming back for more.

Moodle:

Moodle is the online space for students to connect with each other as well as with teaching staff outside of the face-to-face classes. Students will use the site to ask questions of staff, participate in online discussions, and complete selected learning activities. You can also find assessment instructions, submit your completed assessments, access feedback, and keep track of your grades there.

To access Moodle, sign into your university login and click on the “Moodle” link. Moodle will be your main source of information for the course.

Panopto:
