Abstract

Digital storytelling is a powerful and effective instructional tool to engage students in active learning and to support problem based learning. This paper reviews the AACSB standards for quality teaching as a starting point for the creation of a digital storytelling project for use in the undergraduate business law class in the College of Business Administration. The project provided an opportunity for students to learn 21st century skills by creating their own digital stories of actual legal cases in a collaborative learning environment. Each digital story served as a case to be presented to the class for legal analysis, discussion and debate. This paper provides an overview of the digital storytelling project. Benefits and challenges are addressed.
