STUDY ABROAD HOME
Getting Started with Study Abroad Group Advising Sessions |
Digital StoriesInspired by the work of the Center for Digital Storytelling and the Digital Storytelling Working Group, Western Oregon University's Office of Study Abroad and International Exchanges, in collaboration with WOU's Writing Center, implemented digital storytelling as one of the requirements for the Study Abroad Capstone Project.
Digital storytelling is a powerful tool for helping students bring their study abroad experience full circle. The process of creating a digital story leads students to reflect more deeply on their time abroad as they brainstorm, create storyboards, write scripts, and finally produce their story.
Students begin collecting material for their stories even before departure to their destination. Before, during, and on return, students write posts and upload photos to the WOU Students Abroad Photoblog. They respond to questions posed at different stages of the study abroad cycle and have rich opportunities to discover, investigate, verify, and explain (DIVE) what they are observing and experiencing.
With permission from the Bringing the Learning Home project developed by Australian educators Dr. Greg Downey, Dr. Jan Gothard, and Ms. Linda Butcher, WOU modeled its photoblog and the DIVE method after that project.
