	Welcome to Digital Storytelling an innovative learning and assessment strategy for vocational education and training...... This group is made up of community and TAFESA educators who are keen to try innovative ways to engage reluctant learners. We are creating a series of stories using Moviemaker 2 and Photostory 3 to develop learning materials and provide opportunities for learners to enjoy reflective writing and develop technology skills with an application in their everyday lives. We are focussing on: Testing and documenting the use of digital storytelling methodologies in a range of diverse learning situations Researching the potential implementations of the digital storytelling methodology as new practices for a range of practitioners Actively involving the use of digital story tools to capture the learning journey of o disadvantaged youth (16-24 year olds) o older learners in regional or rural learning centres o learners engaging with online or e-learning experiences for the first time Introduction Forum The Couch - Come 'n Chat Digital Storytelling - A Wiki Social forum
