Recently I was called on to script edit and produce a video that summed up a 50-plus page research report. I had my doubts as to how it would translate to video without boring people to death with charts and graphs -- but I think it ended up working. Every year a Canadian educator does an annual report about his school and how teachers are using e-learning -- that inspired me to give this a go. I've had some feedback that people saying this video made them want to read the report. So -- my mind has changed now as to what a digital story is -- sometimes it's fancy -- sometimes it's fact. What do you think - are digital stories define-able? Or is video and multimedia just another communications tool?

I just made my first 'slidecast' over at http://slideshare.com and thought to myself 'WOW - what a great digital story creating tool'. All you need is: - upload some slides - link to some audio - line up audio with slides (using amazing online editor) Done!! - a great little story with text/pictures and sound.

Hi Geraldine! One option could be to use an online web conferencing tool like Live Classroom that allows you to hold a live session online and then archive it for later consumption. Not only will students get to see slides and web sites presented, but those at the live session can ask questions via text or audio in real time. Definitely a way to quit while you're a head... : )

At UOW we are currently looking at new options to deliver course material to students at our various satellite campuses within the area of management. Currently we are using video streaming with "talking head" style delivery. I would be very interested to see if you have had any feedback or information to share on the subject.

TAFE Queensland Videolinq is hosting streaming video recorded in the stonemasonry training workshop, with slides and narration added. The example linked at the left (31-07-08) is one of eight streams produced as a pilot for further development. Using Videolinq network streaming technology to tell a digital story from the trade skills workshop floor is a departure from the 'talking head' style of delivery.

Hello All, I would like to get your opinions on new formats that are popping up...the ezine or online magazine. I thought that this was a particularly good example as it is targeted towards young people who are interested in trades and skills careers with the trades and skills ambit being very wide to include digital artists to fashion designers http://www.skillsone.com.au/Ezine/1/

Thanks so much Carole that is great. I've starting doing quick things like getting kindys to come up to the laptop one at a time and tell a story into the microphone. Also thanks for the link to Uskoob it looks great. Also Gemma I agree, I think the i-pod is a great way to connect kids to digital media relatively cheaply. I wonder why they aren't recognised as an important tool in student access to technology.
