An Outlook About the Application of Digital Storytelling in Higher Education

Abstract

Digitalization is more than a trend. It is a reality that influences firms, citizens, and organizations in general. Concerning education, digitalization becomes a key issue. Students try to use technology as a facilitator for learning. Digital tools are largely appreciated by new generations, particularly the millenniums. Telling stories is an ancient practice that shares information, values, and history between generations of families around the world. Digital storytelling (DIST) could be recognized as the use of digital tools according to a specific methodology to share stories and use this ancestral practice for learning in a context of network apprenticeship. This chapter presents a literature review about both storytelling and digital storytelling learning tools in Higher Education. The chapter also discusses the application of this digital tool in entrepreneurial education.
