Morning: Visitor ExperienceDue to open in 2018, V&A Dundee is designed to welcome visitors from

communities across Dundee and Scotland alongside those from around the

world. In this session, you will hear how V&A Dundee is creating a world-

leading, audience-focused visitor experience and take a tour around the

Gardyne campus to see how this translates to the college environment.

Allan McIntyre, Joanna Mawdsley and Julie Muir from V&A Dundee will be your

guides.

Afternoon: Digital StorytellingThe technology we carry can capture stories in simple and engaging ways. This

workshop will cover the basics of digital storytelling using your mobile device to

develop a social media campaign. You will create a story board, conduct interviews

and create a short piece of digital content to share. Bring your smartphone or tablet

with you. If you don’t have access to one, a small number will be available on the

day. Led by Service Design Academy lecturer, Dr Jennifer Jones.

Intrigued by how education institutions deal with the

'affordances' of digital and social media - inside and outside

the institutions gates;

Interested in what the ‘digital’ means to learners, teachers

and other stakeholders and whether access and use are

unevenly experienced according to economic, social and

cultural variables;

Interested in how ‘eventification’ (Jakob, 2013) might be used

to accelerate digital developments in education institutions

and embed a critical consideration of digital literacies.

Telling your story: Keep it simple

Keep it simple, practice over the

technology - the ability to record short,

quick interviews that required little

editing & big impact;

By demonstrating how media is made,

in turn, be able to deconstruct the

elements required to tell a story using

your smartphone.

Camera: Battery, hold camera

steady, hold camera right way,

airplane mode.

Light: Natural light, windows,

strip lighting.

Sound: Noises, distractions,

microphone.

Questions: What are you going

to ask? Do you have

permission?

Telling your story: The “No Edit” Interview

In your groups:

You are going to plan and record 2-3 (social

media ready!) interviews between each other, in

response to today’s theme

In your groups:

They must be recorded and uploaded before we

conclude the session, using the hashtag #DAG2G
