Editor's Notes
- #2 Story maps are knowledge maps that bridge the gap between business and information technology – a powerful tool for CIOs in implementing knowledge management in their organizations. A story map is also a good tool for reading comprehension. For example, in Literature a story map may help young readers identify and recall a story’s structure
- #3 Digital stories can be instructional, technical, persuasive, historical, or reflective. Very easily processed, stored, transformed, retrieved, hyper-linked and. . .easily searched for and accessed.” ~Robert Logan Understanding New Media
- #4 Story maps have been around for a long time, but primarily as geographic information systems. While the story map runs on a GIS platform, story maps are being used as tools for professional and technical communication especially in the scientific and health communities. e.g. analytical report, project planning. Story Maps are web tools that makes it possible to tell a story, present results or monitoring of a project based on authoritative maps by bringing together images, narrative text, and multimedia content. This tool can be used to create annual reports, for trainings, team presentations, promoting events, etc. Story maps are visual tools for management, analysis, decision support, modeling, situational awareness, and professional communication.
- #5 Why Story Maps? Simplification is critical in the development of digital new media applications because digital technologies contribute to scarcity of human attention which affects critical thinking skills. People consume your information better when it is broken into smaller, more visual chunks. It is also a practical alternative to professional design software. Attention spans are short in the digital age of new media. ▶︎ To graphically tell stories through maps. ▶︎ Inform, share, sensitize, and mobilize using narrative text and images. ▶︎ To provide a multimodal, interactive visual tool that is accessible and integrates various formats and multimedia content (maps, text, photos, video, etc.) ▶︎ Experience capitalization expressed in a simple, dynamic, visual and interactive manner. A primary innovator of the Story Map as a business tool is Allen Carroll. Carroll was formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Cartographer at National Geographic Maps, eventually becoming arcGIS' Online Content Program Manager at Esri. The following is an excerpt from a 2011 interview with Carroll for the Etsi Insider

- #7 Story Maps in professional industries e.g. technical and scientific communication, relate to current issues e.g. environment, community, economy, unemployment, sustainability, agriculture, healthcare, etc. This tool can be used to create annual reports, for trainings, team presentations, promoting events, etc. In medical, story maps are being used as llustrated story maps to address cancer health disparities ( Due to the continuing changes in the Internet, cloud computing, mobile and tablet platforms, and to constant improvements in the software itself, we can now put the power of GIS into the hands of managers, CEOs, reporters, school kids—everyone. The goal of the Story Maps effort is to prove that point, and to enable thousands of GIS users to tell their own stories. A visual tool for management, analysis, decision support, modeling, situational awareness, and communication. own stories. Combines authoritative maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content. What’s cool about story maps? "Story maps can be made for a wide variety of subjects. Anything that you can show on a map can be the subject of a story map! You may want to tell a personal story about a trip or a place you love. Or you may want to tell a story for the agency or organization you work for to showcase plans and projects, to engage supporters and stakeholders, to promote a city or region, and so forth. It's all about getting your message across in a compelling way.“ ~arGIS FAQs
- #8 user story map arranges user stories into a useful model to help understand the functionality of the system, identify holes and omissions in your backlog, and effectively plan holistic releases that deliver value to users and business with each release (from Jeff Patton's The New User Story Backlog Is a Map).
- #9 The Story Map Journal℠ is ideal when you want to combine narrative text with maps and other embedded content. A Map Journal contains entries, or sections, that users simply scroll through. Each section in a Map Journal has an associated map, image, video or web page. Actions can also be defined in journal sections so that, for example, clicking a word automatically zooms the section’s map to a particular location.

- #12 Which would you rather read? Use good design principles for multimodal texts by chunking the text by topic and displaying it in a visually interesting way can entice students to dive in. This is a technique introduced by Nancy Duarte through a SlideDoc, which uses PPT presentation tools to design a book-like presentation that can be viewed in Slideshare. As you can see in this scientific report, Slidedoc is a great tool to also create a report and tell a visual story through the use of data visualizations, graphics, and images. This is a scientific report about the Sun. Duarte uses her Slidedoc principles and converts the the densely written text information into a more visually appealing presentation using colors, images, and data visualizations. Data plots converted to a more visually appealing image. People consume your information better when it is broken into smaller, more visual chunks. It is also a practical alternative to professional design software.
- #14 Revision Activity On the left is a NOAA Hilo, Hawai'i First Observing Station Information report. On the upper right are some maps and data visualization tools you could use to create a story map. On the lower right is an example of how you might organize and write your content. Looking at the densely written report, how would your revise or convert this report into a digital story? Would you use the arcGIS online template for a Story Map? or a digital SlideDoc pamphlet shared in Slideshare? (see below example of a SlideDoc conversion) Consider using multimodal communication in your story. Data Visualizations Images and Maps Interactive Videos Podcasts
