Experiential digital storytelling immerses the students in the fantasy world of an unfolding story. It invites students to participate in a learning 'scavenger hunt' facilitated by digital technologies. Students become part of the story and they learn through their experience of the narrative and play.
This adventure has:
-
imaginary characters who interact with students through different channels and function as facilitators of learning by presenting situations, providing relevant information, creating unexpected events and initiating activities which students complete
​​
-
a storyline that connects the learning tasks and situates students in a particular context
​​
-
learning activities that students need to complete to unfold the next part of the story
​​
The following resources have been developed to support and guide practitioners who wish to utilise experiential digital storytelling:
​
-
A research article Learning digital literacies through experiential digital storytelling in an EAL context: an exploratory study (Tour et al., 2019).
​​
-
