The Centre is currently engaged in collating a wide range of ideas about the use of story in learning. The focus here is on how a learning journey can be captured and narrated by new media technologies.
The Centre’s Associate Professor, Jenny Moon, is researching the use of story in higher education, with a focus on the use of oral story telling as a means of supporting the presentation skills of new teachers. Jenny already has had an article accepted in a nursing journal on this topic (with John Fowlder) and she runs workshops on the use of story and oral storytelling.
Jim Pope has worked with school children in creating a tool which will allows learners to create their own interactive narratives, without the need for competency in complicated computer languages. Genarrator can be found at: http://genarrator.cemp.ac.uk
