Story School
Story School is a STLI collaboration with Reeder Media Center, the Writing and Communications Center, and W&M Libraries to help instructors teach courses with multimodal assignments, such as podcasts, video production assignments, websites, StoryMaps, live presentations, infographics, and more.
Before the semester, STLI consultants meet with instructors to develop a series of scaffolded assignments, classroom visits, and workshop opportunities for students in their courses to teach them four basic story skill types: storytelling, technical fluency, research, and critical thinking.
