How would I benefit from attending the Academic Technology
Digital Storytelling workshop?
This workshop provides an opportunity for faculty to use technology
and discover alternative approaches to teach course concepts, build
authentic classroom communities, and assess student learning. Grounded
in experiential and discovery-based learning, digital storytelling
is an interdisciplinary multi-modal communication strategy. Participants
will hear how digital storytelling is used across multiple disciplines
and by diverse learner groups. By working together to apply new content
delivery methods in an environment that fosters group inquiry and practice,
faculty and researchers also have opportunities to learn new ways to
talk about their work.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will have produced a
2 - 4 minute digital story, which could include recorded narration,
supplemental music and visual images.
This workshop focuses on using story to:
* Communicate course concepts or research findings
* Build an authentic learning experience
* Reach essential student learning outcomes
* Give students the opportunity to reflect on their
learning and creatively articulate their understanding of course concepts
