Session 1: What is Digital Storytelling?

 

Session 2: Personal, Historical & Educational Digital Storytelling - Immersive storytelling involves two simultaneous stories: the one told by the creator, and the one experienced by the audience as they journey through the storyworld. This session will discuss how to  make these two stories work together for the full audience experience. 

 

Session 14: Interactivity in Digital Storytelling - The interactivity within much digital storytelling raises big challenges for traditional storytellers. This is art without the frame, film without the screen and theatre without a stage - where audiences can find their own narratives and make their own meaning. This talk will look at ways to enable audience agency whilst still proving a rich narrative experience.
