Poster Resources

Digital Story Resources
About Digital Stories
According to Kristin Norris (IUPUI), digital storytelling is a way to illustrate learning by using images, sound, and a story to communicate a specific message. Key elements of a digital story include:1. A thesis
2. A metaphor or quote
3. A paced narrative with appropriate transitions
4. Strong images and a meaningful soundtrack
5. Depiction of deep, reflective learning
These elements are to be showcased in a short, concise video (maximum length of 3 minutes).
Prior to creating your video, consider developing a script; capturing key ideas and messages in a storyboard; and gathering feedback and input from your instructor and/or community partner.
