Objectives

The oral tradition of exchange and knowledge transfer was the basis of education since humans were teaching one each other. The process of creating a digital story, built on this principle guides the story teller to the choice of a topic that may be of interest to a particular audience, using digital components. When students build digital content and online share, develop skills on building multimedia applications, but also develop critical thinking about the combinations of audio and visual elements that make up its history. Thus, with this module we intended that the students, organized in small multinational groups, choose the story they want to develop the technique for telling that story (comics, video, an interactive product ...) and the digital elements that will integrate the story. This module must be oriented to be developed in combination with other modules of this international semester organizing some of the themes treated in them for the construction of stories.

This module is intended that students become aware of some digital instruments that allow the development of digital stories, become aware of the need to think about the content before online provide them, develop their critical thinking, enhance their technological literacy and realize the possibilities of these stories in various contexts.

Teaching Methods

In this module we will adopt an approach focused in the student, looking for an self-discover of the concepts underlying the oral tradition of storytelling and the challenges associated with the use of ICT in the construction and dissemination of digital stories. Students will also be guided in the discovery and exploration of instruments that contribute to the construction of stories.

The theme of the story must be negotiated with the teacher and, if the student is also attending to other modules of this international semester, he can choose any item of that module and negotiate with both teacher to archive que an partial evaluation common to both. In this module the student can use a subject included in other module to construct his stories.
