Bringing together writing, photography and audio, the digital storytelling process facilitates the telling of personal and reflective stories in the form of digital movies. Typically conducted in a workshop setting, participants are guided through the process of producing their own digital stories over a three-day period.
The New Media Studio has been involved in digital story work since 2004, adapting the practices of the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) for use in several graduate and undergraduate classes. In January 2006, the New Media Studio sponsored a faculty workshop at UMBC with conducted by CDS staff, including Joe Lambert and Daniel Wienshanker. Faculty attending the workshop gained insight into digital storytelling as a pedagogical tool, and many have applied the technique in their teaching and research. While at UMBC, Joe also gave a talk digital storyelling to the campus. His full presentation can be viewed in New Media's TLT brownbag archive.
