Digital Storytelling combines the artistic theory of storytelling with digital media technologies. Students integrate digital storytelling concepts with artistic practice to write, plan, produce, publish, and present digital narratives. They develop individual stories and a collaborative project based on the research of a social issue or cause. This process includes generating story ideas, developing narrative structures, conducting peer reviews and planning effectively with well-written scripts and visual storyboards. Students analyze ethical issues such as intellectual property, information bias, privacy protection, and the rights of storytelling subjects. They identify effective digital tools for combining images, audio, text, and video into cohesive digital stories. Students demonstrate their knowledge about the aesthetics of digital storytelling and communicate their ideas through writing, digital media production and oral presentations. Continuous learning occurs throughout the course with readings, discussions, writing, scaffolded assignments, peer reviews, and collaborative participation in the final research project.
