• Part One: Learning stories: life experience, time, space, telling & sharing
• Part Two: The cinematic sequence: defining the moment; framing; sound & light; structure
• Part Three: Distributed Digital Story Environments. Issues of time, continuity, participation and interpretation.

Requirements:

• Participation in class discussion. Construction of a personal learning story and development of two prototype storyteller projects.

Three Assignments for the Course:

• Assignment One: relate a personal learning story; focus on how time is transformed as you convert information to narrative.
• Assignment Two: select, build and populate a small story world using rich media. Focus on your scenario for the world, your story representation, and a navigational strategy for sharing.
• Assignment Three (final): a personal work that builds upon the prior work of the semester (can be a continuation of 2); the topic is chosen by the student in discussions with the instructor.
