Digital Storytelling Class Enhances Teaching and Research

Digital Storytelling Class Enhances Teaching and Research

Dr. Kelly Schrum, associate professor in the Higher Education Program and director of educational projects at the Center for History and New Media, is teaching a digital storytelling class this fall. Her section of CTCH 792 (co-offered as HIST 615),  "joins compelling research with exciting ways to communicate." Schrum says that “Digital storytelling offers a new approach to teaching and learning about history and higher education. This class offers students the opportunity to expand and master digital skills, but also to think about the nature of communication and knowledge production. Students become critical consumers as well as producers.” 

Students in this course are expected to develop a digital story "including the pitch, the storyboard and a bibliography."
