of experiences through fictional or non-fictionalnarratives to cover specific subjects[23]. A recent podcast from Leoson et al.[24] provided a clear synthesis of how storytelling canbe used to teach a variety of concepts through story-based pedagogy. According to them, storiescan enhance the learning experience by creating meaningful connections, establishing solidcontext and positionality, and supporting student engagement. A pedagogy centered on narrativesallows instructors the freedom to incorporate different models, technologies, subjects, andstorytelling plans to provide immersive experiences for students. For example, McQuiggan et al.[25] used a virtual environment called Crystal Island to teach concepts of microbiology

The credits for each curriculum were scaled such that there were 128total credits for each program, by multiplying each class credit with the ratio (128 / total numberof credits in 4-year curriculum), making an average class roughly 3-4 credits. 128 credits waschosen as the normalizer due to it being the average number of credits in a semesterly 4-yearprogram.
