Introducing CAES2002: Digital storytelling. Apply now!

The Digital Literacy Lab is excited to announce that we are launching a new 6-credit free-elective online class.

CAES2002: Digital Storytelling in English taps the potential of online teaching to create an experience like no other.

In the first half of the course students will engage with each other (including students from the United States) to create personal narratives in the form of Digital Stories. In the second half of the course students will teach online workshops in Digital Storytelling to learners in Myanmar.

NGLers —

We would like to invite you to join us for a three day Online Digital Storytelling Workshop to share your NGL experience. During the workshop, you will work to create a narrative-driven 3 minute video that highlights what you learnt during the program. This workshop will run for three days on August 17, 19 and 21 for 2hrs everyday from 09:30am-11:30am with individual consultations in between the workshops. You will learn to identify your story, narrate and record an audio track, compile images/footage and edit visually compelling video by the end of the workshop.

This will be a great opportunity for the program and for the participants to reflect on the impact of their experience during these trying times. You will have the ownership of your video and it will only be used as NGL promotional materials with your permission.

Find out more about the Digital Storytelling Workshop and watch example videos from past participants here. And, if you feel like you have a story that would inspire someone or a story you want to keep as a memento, sign up for the workshop here.

Feel free to reach us at [email protected] if you have any inquiries regarding the workshop. We look forward to seeing you and hearing your stories.😃
