Mobile Storytelling introduces students to a new mobile content creation medium, where smartphone tools and literacies enable them to create and publish cross-platform broadcast-quality video stories. Using their smartphone as their new digital pen, students develop, research, write, produce and publish user-generated stories (UGS). These skills are indispensable in the convergent workflows currently driving production online, in news, TV, advertising, public relations and across community and education sectors. Moreover we explore the impact of smart technologies on global connectivity and discuss their value as change agents for promoting civic-minded ideals and a sustainable democratic public sphere. The skills define a new field of hand-held communication that addresses both eudemonic and commercial imperatives.
