Welcome inspiring educators and researchers,

We're excited to be launching a ground-breaking journey to support digital storytelling education, and we'd like you to be a vital part of it!

About the research project:

The aim of the research project is to support the enhancement of KS3 students' language skills through Educational Digital Storytelling (EDS). Your insights as experienced educators and researchers can help inform the journey and enable the developed pilot prototype to be reliable, relevant and effective in real educational environments.

Your valuable contribution:

We'll be building a comprehensive insight network on the Research Insights Board, where your experiences, suggestions and critiques will be incorporated into the collective development of the entire educational community, Helping toenrich not only the project, but all of its participants.

Dear Educators,

Are you beginning a journey to create interactive storybooks with your students? 🚀 Let's explore the meaning of co-authorship!

What is co-authorship?

Co-authorship involves the creative and intellectual contributions of multiple authors, leading to a collaborative, shared creation. In creating an interactive storybook, educators and students combine their imaginative, technical and literary skills to create a narrative that is not only educationally powerful, but also a repository of shared ownership and achievement.

Why consider co-authorship?

Creative Story

The child continued to spray water on him, so he went mincing daintily out of the top floor. He muttered: Because I am Batman, I can't fight a child and I'm going to defeat Joker and the villains for peace in this city. Anyway, he wanted to leave the top floor in a hurry to avoid the child's water attack. However, he missed his step on the stairs and fell down. Someone approached at him and said "Mr. Batman, can you get out Joker's space now?" Written by James
