This guide, titled ‘The Do’s and Don’ts of Digital Storytelling’, has been produced by Liz Austen and Stella Jones-Devitt which can support the production and use of digital stories for behavioural and/or cultural change.

How to use these stories

Digital storytelling has become a mechanism for capturing student and staff voices at Sheffield Hallam University and is approached as an innovative research methodology. Ethically, it is important that these stories have impact and they are used to facilitate reflections, discussions and eventual change at local or organisational level.  Current research projects and institutional outputs now include both student and staff voices. A library of digital stories is available. All storytellers have given their consent for these stories to be publicly available.
