WRTG 3040 - Digital Storytelling

While storytellers have composed narratives through oral and print-based media for centuries, emerging digital media allows increasing possibilities to develop and share the narratives that matter to our communities and to our lives. Using text, audio, visual, and video in concert with thorough research and narrative composition, this course will introduce students to and provide repeated practice in using digital media for composing compelling digital stories. In addition to composing with digital media, students will be introduced to rhetorical principles and theories at the root of both media production and storytelling. Students strongly advised to take WRTG 2010 or equivalent prior to this course.
