Abstract: We propose digital storytelling as a pedagogical tool for
online Library and Information Science education that recognizes diversity
and fosters reflection among students and teacher. In a course titled
Documenting Diverse Cultures and Communities, students contemplated their
role as future information professionals and produced a short digital story
dealing with community, archives, and history. We use a call-and-response
dialogue on storytelling to discuss how we access personal and social
historical memory.
Keywords: Archives, digital pedagogy, digital storytelling, diversity, library and information science, inclusive pedagogy, memory, narrative inquiry, online education
