Interactive Digital Narrative Syllabi from Around the World: A Preliminary Analysis
摘要
This paper reports on a diverse corpus of 42 syllabi focused on teaching Interactive Digital Narratives (IDN) or that teach IDN applications in different fields such as education, cultural heritage, and journalism. The collected syllabi represent nearly every continent and four languages, with English as the common language. The syllabi are divided into four sections: survey, humanities, design and technology, and social sciences, according to their focus. This study investigates IDN instruction's objectives, course structure, course materials, and assignments. We use comparative analysis to discover similarities and unique strengths in teaching approaches that reflect the diverse cultural and institutional contexts influencing IDN pedagogy. This early overview offers insight into the pedagogical tactics implemented in IDN studies and serves to concretize the field's approach to training practitioners and academics.
