Learners in these contexts have a growing interdependence on one another, and shrinking dependence on us.
This is happening on every zoom conference I'm attending right now...participants answer the questions for each other in the chat. It's very empowering and collaborative.
[af·fec·tive] (adj) /aˈfektiv/ : relating to moods, feelings, and attitudes; expressing emotion.
I'm finally starting to get this when I realized the connection between this and the affective domain in Bloom's Taxonomy. A ton of bricks doesn't have to fall on MY head. :)

my own list of open-tools.
Great list of tools! I love airtable!
Framework
Yes, a framework would be very helpful re: the challenges listed below (time, money, ability, buy-in). I look forward to looking at these more closely.
heoretical issues get tested in the design of implementa-tion
so true
interactive games/stories that challenge learners to think, explore, and solve problems that are complex and compelling
I love the idea of collective interaction to mine unexplored narratives for solutions, but how does one plan for it in the preproduction/design process? Very complex but intriguing.
xpressive stories teach or convey relevant information to others. Strategic stories encourage new ways of thinking/working, often in organizational contexts. Reflective stories highlight multiple perspectives or disparities in a particular situation. Transformative stories promote a future vision and encourage its embracement (Alterio & McDrury, 2004). All might be good subjects for future forms of digital storytelling
This is a helpful breakdown of the potential of digital storytelling, but these have been put to work for many years...think WPA's documentary photographs during the implementation of the New Deal to help explain to citizens why the gov needed to spend money after the depression/dust bowl. https://photography.tutsplus.com/articles/how-fsa-photography-changed-the-world--photo-17345

I love "museums" that feature this type of exhibition, such as Ellis Island, or the Tenement Museum in NYC (https://www.tenement.org/)
rigger spots for sound effects—squeaking wooden cart wheels and musicians entertaining on busy street corners—were hidden, waiting to be discovered serendipi-tously by wandering participants
Adding elements of surprise can elevate the entire experience exponentially. Wouldn't it be great to add smell to the list of senses engaged? This sense can create a strong emotional response b/c it goes straight to the brain's receptors without a lot of processing. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/digital-smell-technology-underrated-technology/
multimedia digital storytelling may provide a challenging and re-warding context for a class project or a professional collaboration focused on research/knowledge presentation
I love this idea of splitting up a multimedia project and collaborating on it as a class endeavor. Not only is a "work" created which brings satisfaction to the participants, but collaboration skills are learned as well, crucial skills for most (if not all) jobs.
archives around the world,
case in point: NPR's Story Corps https://www.npr.org/series/4516989/storycorps
personal and historic sonic trac-es, artifacts, interviews, and oral histories is valuable to family, friends, historians, archivists, and producers
recorded histories from or about loved ones can be so powerful for our healing and moving forward
he essential ingredients of a good narrative and effective storytelling—strong characters, compelling plot, conflict resolution—remain relevant for digital sto-rytelling.
while i agree that everyone loves a good story, if this breed of media is to give voice/comprehension to subjects traditionally ignored. I'm a little confused about how DS and documentary/journalistic endeavors differ. I suppose it doesn't need to be "true" and is more narrative than journalistic in style? A wonderful example I recently watched is the movie "Vice" about Dick Cheney...a true story narrated by an unexpected (and unknown until the very end) character which helps reveal core truths much about the subject.
we are accustomed to the use of digital storytelling for entertainment and profit rather than civic engagement. However I love the use of multimedia to engage people in learning about, developing our culture, and "making our own stories".
