Student Digital Stories this fall

After two successful workshops we hosted this summer with the Center for Digital Storytelling, we worked with our first groups of students this fall producing digital stories as a part of their courses. These student projects focused on three different areas:

• Two Cornerstone classes from the Honors College explored the potential of first-person narrative in first-year experiences.

• Two Psychology courses introduced first-person reflections on vocation into a capstone experience.

• Finally two other teachers looked at digital authoring as a way to communicate more traditional arguments (Proposing a Solution) or portfolio-type reflections on teacher training.

Thanks to the faculty and students in each of these courses for working with us to better understand the role digital stories play in the broader curriculum here at ACU.

HONORS CORNERSTONE

All of the students produced remarkable stories. The following collection reflects the flexibility of the form to capture a wide range of experiences.
