Digital Storytelling explores how storytelling can play a central role in planning education and practice by democratizing knowledge, sharpening critical judgement, and expanding our practical tools. This course, by exploring other mediums of communication, seeks to move beyond the hegemony of textual communication and introduce means that might further democratize both production and dissemination of knowledge. In this course we offer a range of digital communication tools (eg by podcast, video, info graph and storymap) that are critical to inclusive planning and education. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Credit is not given toward graduation for UP 427 if credit was given for UP 494-FM in Fall 2022 or Spring 2021. Prerequisite: Restricted to graduate students and upper level undergraduate students in all fields.
This is open to undergrad juniors and seniors as well as grad students -- no planning background is needed just fun to learn how to make podcasts, videos, and story maps. Credit: 3 or 4 Hours
