INTD 245 - Digital Storytelling and The World Wide Web

Games, YouTube, webcomics, Kindle, Netflix, Facebook, Instagram - the Web is made of stories, but being a storyteller online requires skill in code, skill in content, and an awareness of their power and responsibility. In this class, students will explore how digital media and the Internet have transformed both storytelling in multiple media and the role of the storyteller in society. Students will learn through critical making, creating personal websites, videos for YouTube, interactive text adventure games, short stories for e-readers, webcomics, photo stories, and more, and learn the basics of how to make both a living and an impact.
