A Phenomenological Investigation of Instructional Design Students’ Experiences with Digital Storytelling

• In Event: D&D - Research in Instructional Design Courses

Short Description

A major challenge of an instructional design (ID) course is to cover the depth and breadth of the ID knowledgebase in a short semester-long-course. Can digital storytelling help address this challenge? This phenomenological study investigated the experiences and learning gains of ID students when digital storytelling activities replaced traditional methods. We present in detail our implementation and the findings of the study in an effort to demonstrate effective uses of digital storytelling in graduate education.
