This course introduces students to the art of digital storytelling, where traditional narrative techniques meet modern media. Students will explore how words, images, comics, animation, sound, video, and interactivity can work together to create stories designed for the web. The course combines creative development with hands-on production, guiding students through scrollytelling, animation, editing and branching story paths. We will work with accessible tools such as Adobe Express, Keynote/PowerPoint, and selected AI platforms to experiment with storyboarding, design, and publishing. Weekly exercises build toward a final interactive story that blends personal creativity with technical skill. No coding or design background is required-just curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to experiment. This course is designed for writers, artists, educators, media enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring new ways of telling stories online. It is suitable for beginners as well as creative professionals looking to expand their storytelling toolkit.

Note: All students with an active registration in this course will be given free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This course is fully online and offered through synchronous sessions during the listed course hours.
