Relatos digitales un género de expresión personal mediatizada: introducción
2012
This article provides a critical review of some of the most relevant studies on digital storytelling and proposes a genre typology that allows an initial classification of digital storytelling into two main types: educational and social. Digital storytelling is a multimodal emergent genre characterised by its versatility and flexibility which has resulted in a series of subgenres. However, the main premise here is that differentiating between social and educational– although one does not exclude the other– and bearing in mind that most digital stories may lie at the intersection of both, is the most useful way to start labeling the massive production of digital stories available nowadays on…
The Use of Digital Storytelling for ESP in a Technical English Course for Aerospace Engineers.
2012
Digital Storytelling is a powerful pedagogical tool for both students and educators, which started to be used for teaching and learning purposes a few years ago, becoming more and more popular over time. The use of digital storytelling in non-specific language learning contexts has been widely explored, as shown in the literature. However, its use in technical-scientific contexts of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has not been so widely studied. This paper explores a project of digital storytelling for ESP carried out at the Universitat Politècnica de València, in Spain. The methodology was divided into several stages: completing a pre- and a post-survey, learning about digital storytel…
'Share your experience'. Digital Storytelling in English for Tourism
2014
The main purpose of this article is to describe the experience achieved when implementing the practical classes of English for Tourism so as to bridge the gap between the professional world of the tourism industry and what students learn at the university. In this article we will first introduce the concept of Digital Storytelling (Lambert (1997), Gregori-Signes (2007-2010), Alcantud-Díaz (2008-2011) and briefly describe some of the projects that have already been developed at the University of Valencia as well as the use of digital stories in the promotion of touristic products. We will then argue that Digital Storytelling can be considered as a productive type of activity which fits the d…
The Process of Remembering with the Forgotten Australians: Digital Storytelling and Marginalized Groups
2012
Digital storytelling projects have proliferated in Australia since the early 2000s, and have been theorized as a means to disseminate the stories and voices of “ordinary” people. In this paper I examine through the case study of a 2009 digital storytelling project between the Australasian Centre for Interactive Design and a group identifying as Forgotten Australian whether digital storytelling in its predominant workshop-based format is able to meet the needs of profoundly marginalized and traumatized individuals and groups. For digital storytelling to be of use to marginalized groups as a means of communication or reflection a significant re-examination of the current approaches to its for…

Una metodologia innovativa per le famiglie al nido. Il Digital Storytelling tra competenze riflessive e narrative
2022
La pandemia da Covid-19 ha messo in discussione le modalità comunicative e inter-relazionali. Durante il periodo interessato, educatori ed educatrici si sono interrogati su come dialogare con i bambini e su come alimentare la relazione a distanza. La condivisione sociale del compito educativo, il sostegno e l’accompagnamento ai genitori è risultato terreno fertile per la promozione della crescita globale della persona. La relazione nido-famiglia e l’attività di narrazione – declinata secondo la tipologia del Digital Storytelling – costituiscono gli assi portati della ricerca qui descritta, condotta a distanza con 20 coppie di genitori di 20 bambini frequentanti un asilo nido comunale della …
Digital Community Storytelling as a Sociopolitical Critical Device
2016
Este artículo analiza 40 historias digitales comunitarias basadas en los principios de estudios de discurso crítico basados en corpus (Baker et al., 2008). Las historias se analizan con la intención de probar si pueden clasificarse como ejemplos de historias sociopolíticas digitales. Las historias digitales socio-políticas se describen aquí como una herramienta que los individuos pueden usar para hacer llegar al público opiniones sobre temas que puedan afectar a la democracia (Couldry, 2008), el bienestar social y la estabilidad; y puede servir para facilitar la comunicación, interacción e intercambio de información sobre prácticas sociales conflictivas. Las historias analizadas pueden co…
