Michael Coventry and Matthias Oppermann draw on their work with student-produced digital stories to explore how the protocols surrounding particular new media technologies shape the ways we think about, practice, and represent work in the scholarship of teaching and learning. The authors describe the Digital Storytelling Multimedia Archive, an innovative grid they designed to represent their findings, after considering how the technology of delivery could impact practice and interpretation. This project represents an intriguing synthesis of digital humanities and the scholarship of teaching and learning, raising important questions about the possibilities for analyzing and representing student learning in Web 2.0 environments.

The notion that education liberates runs deep in the digital storytelling movement. Small wonder then that liberal arts educators take such an interest in the project. Anyone planning to use digital storytelling, however, faces a number of non-trivial challenges, some logistical, some pedagogical, some bureaucratic:

  • How does one run/structure a workshop?
  • Who are good candidates for participation?
  • What tools should participants use?
  • How, if at all, will the stories be published?
  • What about copyrighted content?
  • How might digital storytelling be incorporated into a syllabus?
  • Can digital stories be 'scholarly'?
All of these questions surfaced to varying degrees over the course of the SIG.
