Digital storytelling uses digital tools to create and share stories. Stories are an important part of learning, entertainment, and culture, as they provide explanations and details. Digital tools like Articulate, Captivate, iMovie, and screen capture software allow stories to be securely delivered and remembered in digital form. These digital stories can be used for education by incorporating motivational models and delivered through online content libraries, videos, and interactive activities.
