Digital storytelling allows story creators and their audiences to transform and engage through the power of narrative. This 5-week institute is an opportunity to make a story and design an assignment, whether you’d like to explore providing students with options for making and demonstrating knowledge or want to help students communicate complex ideas in meaningful and creative ways.

Although the main focus of this institute will be creating a short podcast or a video in the form of a personal narrative, other forms will be discussed and welcomed.

In this institute, you will:

1. make a digital story and experience the creative process
2. design a digital storytelling assignment
3. clarify and understand the supports you can offer regarding access to resources, and 
4. make a plan for fair assessment and grading

Who can attend?

All instructors at Cornell University are welcome to attend the institute.
