Abstract
Digital storytelling is a workshop-based technique for propagating digital literacy and self expression. Digital stories have been hailed as emancipationist but wide uptake of the technique has been limited. This paper looks at some of the problems. Scalability has two aspects: the bundling of stories and the propagation of the method of making them. Expertise also has two aspects: the role of the expert facilitator, and the expertise of the user. Addressing these problems translates digital storytelling – DST – from a phenomenon locked into the 'closed expert paradigm' to one active in an 'open innovation network.'
