Abstract

Digital storytelling (DS) is a multimedia storytelling technique that has become an efficacious educational tool in tertiary environments. Individual students, supported by other students in a facilitated “Story Circle”, create short videos using digital devices, still images, and a cloud-based video editor in response to a targeted story prompt. The DS process aligns closely with an emerging trend in universities to instil in their students both critical reflection skills and strong digital, media, and visual literacies to enable them to thrive in their professional and personal lives. This paper proposes the adoption of DS as an additional and innovative pedagogical strategy by Learning Developers (LDs) within discipline-specific embedded teaching. Embedded teaching is a well-established method of developing student literacies, and LDs already employ this approach to support academics across disciplines. The integration of DS into this practice would further strengthen the capacity of LDs to enhance students’ capabilities as they move into post-Covid, 21st-century ‘graduateness’.

多模态素养和批判性反思:数字讲故事作为21世纪学习开发人员的工具

数字叙事(DS)是一种多媒体叙事技术，已成为高等教育环境中有效的教育工具。个别学生在“故事圈”中得到其他学生的支持，根据目标故事提示，使用数字设备、静止图像和基于云的视频编辑器制作短视频。DS过程与大学的新兴趋势密切相关，即向学生灌输批判性反思技能和强大的数字、媒体和视觉素养，使他们能够在职业和个人生活中茁壮成长。本文提出，在特定学科的嵌入式教学中，学习开发者(LDs)采用DS作为一种额外的创新教学策略。嵌入式教学是培养学生读写能力的一种行之有效的方法，ld已经采用这种方法来支持跨学科的学者。将DS纳入这一实践将进一步加强lld的能力，以便在学生进入后covid时代的21世纪“研究生阶段”时提高学生的能力。
