Facilitators Linda Hicks and Rachel Woodburn have been co-teaching a course in Digital Storytelling at Scottsdale COmmunity College for a few years, and it is a raging success (see our interview with the duo in the Spring 2004 mcli Forum) both here in Arizona and where they have taken it on the road in Australia and New Zealand.
This version is for 12 faculty to learn the process of finding, crafting, and producing a digital story, crammed into a week. The first two days have been on developing the story, refining it, storyboarding, collecting physical assets. The process used works wonderfully, especially the time provided as a group for feedback. It is intoxicating to see creativity unfolding before your eyes.
