About the Course
Learn how to share your message through the creation of stunning, professional, and informative digital stories.
Digital storytelling is an important part of our world today, as online media platforms continue to grow and become our main source for information. Creating stimulating digital stories designed for target audiences is now a crucial element to sharing those online messages and impactful content.
Through the lens of health and One Health concepts, students are guided through the skills and knowledge required to write and execute impressive digital storyboards, and asked to create their own storyboard with exclusive temporary access to Pageflow.
Take a look at the storyboards here.
Pageflow is a digital platform that allows users to combine their own images, audio, and videos into a seamless presentation style with online sharing capabilities. It does not facilitate the creation of animated videos, although those can be made separately and embedded in Pageflow for an enhanced user experience.
Content and Requirements
The Digital Storytelling course consists of a blended learning system, including synchronous and asynchronous sessions.
In the asynchronous sessions, the participants will be led through the theoretical foundations of digital storytelling through self-study with interactive elements on the Moodle-platform.
During the synchronous sessions, participants will meet online via Zoom to present their progress and collect feedback. As a final assignment, participants will develop their own original digital story on Pageflow.
