Seminar.net is a peer-reviewed academic e-journal in the area of media, technology, and lifelong learning. In this academic area, Seminar.net welcomes and supports the presentation of visual material, videos, animations, and genres that have emerged from expressions in the New Media in symbiosis with written articles. Seminar.net aims to expand the format of how academics can express their insights, wisdom, and scientific results.
We aim at publishing a special issue of Seminar.net on "Digital Storytelling". We invite
scholars to publish the results of their academic studies in the area of “Digital Storytelling”.
This special issue invites scholars to submit contributions that address how the genre is used in
various contexts today – whether they are for educational purposes or for emerging new areas of
use related to health, leisure, recreation, activism, community building, planning, professional
communication, and reflection, and more. Furthermore, authors should aim their contributions
towards building the knowledge about digital storytelling as a genre and its potential in the media
society. We welcome, then, critical and well founded presentations of how the concept is being
applied to various fields.
All contributions will be peer-reviewed by independent reviewers, who are selected among
members of our editorial board, and an expert panel. Joe Lambert of the Center for Digital
Storytelling, professor Theo Hug of University of Innsbruck, and professor Knut Lundby,
University of Oslo have agreed to act as an advisory board to the editors for this special issue.
