Digital Storytelling
"Digital storytelling" is a new term, arising from a grassroots
movement that uses new digital tools to help ordinary people tell their
own 'true stories' in a compelling and emotionally engaging form. These
stories are usually short (less than 8 minutes) and can be interactive.
The term "digital storytelling" can also cover a variety of new forms of digital narratives (web-based stories, interactive stories, hypertexts, and narrative computer games). It is also sometimes used to refer to any type of film-making, and is now often used for advertising and promotional work for both commercial and non-profit enterprises.
