Digital Storytelling for Collaboration On and Off Campus

Thursday, April 23, 2015 | 9:30AM–11:00AM | Travis AB, Third Level
Session Type: Professional Development
Through a collaboration between faculty and learning technologies staff, students learned how to storyboard, capture video footage and edit it, and produce digital media projects. The outcomes of these project served additional community-based organizations as media campaigns and political action efforts to convey their stories. This service-learning assignment was transformative for students. Traditional course content was enlivened by the unconventional integration of a digital arts component, and students were taught a skill applicable to other aspects of their professional and personal lives.


OUTCOMES: Discover how digital media can be incorporated into nontraditional programs and courses * Create a plan to help students and faculty with little or no previous experience learn media-production skills in a short time * Learn how to demonstrate the value of digital storytelling to community stakeholders
