ADCO 3002 Digital Storytelling

The evolution of the internet has created new ways to tell and deliver stories. Digital Storytelling explores the world of interactive narratives through social, mobile, and digital media. These channels include, but are not limited to podcasts, videos, social media posts, blogs, and infographics. This course is designed to provide students with new skills to produce compelling online stories that will resonate with target audiences and encourage them to take action for artistic, educational, and commercial purposes. To do this, we need to examine the changing role of storytellers in the communication field and how digital stories differ from traditional storytelling tactics, such as print, radio, and television. Students will critique digital stories throughout the semester and share feedback with other developing (peer) storytellers.
