I often write about how the human race evolved and how we developed our finely tuned survival machines – our brains. How different would we be if all human brains were replaced with those of dogs? This is because the cerebral cortex , the seat of higher cognition, is less developed in dog brains.

Our brains are arguably the most complex structure we’ve discovered, and yet we tend to treat learning design as simple. And given that our brains are hard wired to understand stories, this makes a natural format for conveying them. Examples are a part of learning, as we know, and learning design is, or should be considered complex.
