What is digital storytelling?

Digital storytelling is the practice of using digital tools and multimedia elements to tell a story in a compelling, interactive way (Wu & Chen, 2020).

What is the purpose of digital storytelling?

The main purpose of digital storytelling is to enhance the way individuals communicate and share experiences by combining traditional narrative techniques with digital multimedia, making stories more engaging and accessible (Rizvic et al., 2020).

Digital Storytelling for Education

Digital storytelling engages students by making learning interactive and creative (Kim & Li, 2021).

Digital storytelling helps develop critical thinking, digital literacy, and communication skills while allowing students to express their ideas and knowledge in a dynamic format (Shahid & Khan, 2022).

Digital Storytelling in Business

Digital storytelling enhances marketing strategies and internal communications by connecting audiences on an emotional level (Kemp et al., 2021).

Companies in business use digital storytelling to tell compelling brand stories, showcase products, and build a strong narrative around their values and mission (Kemp et al., 2023; Nicoli et al., 2022).

Digital Storytelling in Advocacy

Advocacy groups use digital storytelling to amplify voices and raise awareness about social issues (Udoudom & Nwokeocha, 2023; Yearta & Kelly, 2021).

Digital storytelling in advocacy helps to share powerful personal stories that inspire action, mobilize support, and drive social change by making complex issues more relatable and understandable (Udoudom & Nwokeocha, 2023; Yearta & Kelly, 2021). 

Digital Storytelling in Entertainment

In entertainment, digital storytelling creates an immersive experience through films, videos, games, and other interactive media (Miller, 2019).

Digital storytelling allows creators to blend narrative and multimedia elements, capturing the audience's attention and providing a richer storytelling experience (Sanchez-Lopez et al., 2020).
