This course will investigate theories and practices, media and modes, trends and challenges of storytelling in the digital age. In addition, the class will explore the historical perspective by reading print publications that anticipate the changing landscape of communication technologies. In this course, students will encounter a variety of narrative devices, multimedia platforms, and digital tools to help them develop the rhetorical flexibility they need to author engaging stories in digital environments. By the end of the semester, students will understand the art, craft, tools, and historical precedents of digital storytelling; develop digital literacies and writing skills; and, create digital stories independently and collaboratively. Finally, students will participate in a Digital Showcase, which will enable them to share their work with a larger audience online.
