A digital story is a 21st century form of mass communication that harks back to the ancient art of oral storytelling. This contemporary form of mediated communication combines traditional techniques from television, video production, radio, newspapers and magazines with contemporary multimedia tools to deliver informative and entertaining short productions with text, still and motion images, sound, music, and voice. They are script-driven and all about the articulation of a coherent verbal expression – the voice – of the narrator.

This page has examples of digital storytelling produced by students in response to various assignments in a variety of courses. The individual productions are not listed in any particular order. These productions were completed in the Spring 2008 semester. Look and listen for the voice of the narrator.
