Interactive Storytelling

This course will explore existing and experimental methods for telling interactive stories. Interactive stories are defined as stories that allow the audience, listener, or reader to participate in the shaping of the narrative. Students will be able to articulate the differences between linear, non-linear, multilinear and meta-linear narratives. Students will analyze stories, they will create their own interactive stories using multimedia technologies, and they will hypothesize about the potential usefulness and social utility of new storytelling technologies under development.
