Introduction

Educause Learning Initiative: 7 Things you should know about Digital Storytelling

What is Digital StoryTelling and what are Digital Stories?

Digital stories do not need to be narratives.  Several sites give definitions of digital stories that include 7 specific elements (point of view, dramatic question, emotional content, voice, soundtrack, economy, pace).  Our definition is more encompassing- the use of audio, images, text and sometimes video to present, report or tell a story.
