The TLT Center will be holding a Digital Storytelling workshop for faculty. Digital Storytelling is defined as a process of using various multimedia tools and objects to create a personal story. These multimedia objects can include images, video, music, voice narration, and animation, to name a few examples. Digital stories can be focused on any topic or subject area and can vary in length (typically they are fairly short). Elements of a digital story might include interviews, personal narration, or clips from previously recorded audio or video.
 
There are many ways to incorporate digital stories into teaching and learning environments. Some examples include:

• Student reflective pieces to demonstrate the outcome of an internship, project, or other learning experience
• Team-based projects allowing students to work together, share ideas, and demonstrate their understanding of a specific topic
• Faculty-created stories to explain a particular concept
  

The workshop will include an informational session on digital storytelling and a description of the process. During lunch, we will have several faculty presenters discussing how they have used digital storytelling in their courses here at SHU. The afternoon will engage participants in a hands-on session where you will be given the opportunity to create your own Digital Story project and share it with others at the conclusion of the workshop.
