Hone your online storymaking skills in a free multimedia story-making walk. It takes place around Leeds on Friday 15 February, 10 am to 1 pm.
From pitching ideas in the office to posting holiday snaps to your favourite social places, we use stories in every area of our lives. To entertain, explain, educate and engage. We are made of stories.
This is one of a series of FREE workshops being hosted by The Open University in a number of cities across the UK. Think of it as a chance to sharpen your story-making skills for home, for fun or for professional use. We will be using today's tools and platforms for documenting and sharing, connecting and curating.
Bring your mobile (smartphone) or tablet and join us on a story-making walk where you'll get the chance to make and share a story of your own. We'll show you how to:
· Use a range of story-making tools and apps
· Take better photos with your mobile device
· Record and share audio
· Capture and share video
· Geotag your location
· Integrate all the elements into your story
· Use tags to make your story visible
· Curate and Share your content online.
The workshop will be led by Christian Payne, aka Documentally, a mobile media maker specialising in social technology and connected platforms, and Jane Matthews, former head of stakeholder engagement at the OU.
There will be a limited number of 18 places and slots will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Bring your own snacks or a packed lunch but hot drinks will be provided at the end.
Please note, we'll be spending a large proportion of the session outside so do come prepared for the February weather!
