I have enrolled
on this free online storytelling
course from ‘iversity’, and I
have just completed the first unit, which was really interesting, and I would recommend it to any writer,
performer, or designer as it is aimed at storytellers of all types.
From what I have completed
so far, the course material looks really good, and it has been very
interesting. It is an 8 chapter course that ends on the 20/12/2013, and
includes topics on storytelling basics – serial formats (on the TV, web and
beyond) – storytelling in role-playing games – interactive storytelling in
video games – transmedia storytelling – alternate-reality gaming – augmented
reality and location-based storytelling – the role of tools, interfaces and
information architectures in current storytelling.
The course is a
MOOC (a Massively Open On-line Course), and the whole thing started on the 25th
October. The second chapter will start around the 31st I
expect, so don’t get left behind.
