I Am UCF: A Digital Storytelling Initiative
“I Am UCF” is a cross-disciplinary effort to create digital stories representing the diverse narratives of the University of Central Florida campus body, spearheaded by faculty in the Theatre, Digital Media, English, and Writing and Rhetoric degree programs. Through I Am UCF, students share their unique stories using digital storytelling, a medium that fuses together writing, audio, visual, digital, and performative elements." I Am UCF" provides a comprehensive curriculum for the creation of digital stories emphasizing community, diversity, advocacy, and creative expression. This website serves as a platform for these projects in the form of a sortable campus map to celebrate the diverse and rich stories of our campus body.
Think about it ... How have Place and Identity been a part of your UCF experience? What do you want to share with the campus body about where you come from, and what makes your perspective unique? What brought you to UCF? How has your time at UCF changed you? And where you hope to go from here? I Am UCF was generously funded through the UCF Quality Enhancement Plan from 2016-2019. The project is currently on hiatus and not accepting new videos, but our curriculum and videos are still available for you to view. |
