Digital Storytelling

Catalog description

The need to share stories and understand ourselves and others are common across cultures and eras. Stories engage, inspire, and teach. Storytelling helps professionals communicate about scientific and technical research, as well as craft a shared, holistic view of how an individual interacts with a text or technology. Today technology enables us to create digital stories that foster creativity, empower social impact, build a personal or corporate brand, and share life events. This course covers fundamental principles and application of digital storytelling relevant to professionals across disciplines and walks students through the entire process of creating a digital story. Class activities include readings, discussions, in-class workshops, and a final multimedia project in which students apply storytelling craft to develop a digital story using Adobe Premiere and other relevant tools.
