Ice Breaker
Tell a story
What do we mean by digital
storytelling?
What might a digital story in the context of Higher
Education look like? How might it be useful in
supporting learning and teaching?
'Memories' by Laura
Marsh - Digital
Storytelling Durham
Reflection & Feedback
Digital Story
How engaged were you? What did the storyteller do to hold your
attention? How empathetic were you to the storyteller? In what ways does this
story relate to discipline/personal biography? What are you taking away?

Student/Staff Feedback: DS Workshop
‘I had the feeling that this
time my voice was really
heard, not like in
interviews.’
‘Overall, this has been an
incredibly rewarding
experience, and I am very
glad to have been one of
the first few to receive this
privilege.’
‘Nobody teaches us how
to talk about these things’
‘Our voice has become
our body.’
'By making this DS I can
have more deep feelings
about this academic
topic'
‘It made me think about
my work. I wouldn't have
been able to articulate
my research in
3 minutes.’
Staff Feedback: DS
Facilitation Training &
Mentoring
"The experience has been transformative
on my own practice, while promising to
sustain innovation within the Department
and beyond."
‘This workshop has had a tremendous
impact on my disposition towards
teaching. The Digital Stories opened a
way to create space and sensitize myself
to existing assumptions, my body of
knowledge that I bring to the classroom.’
