Digital Storytelling with Tulane Exhibits

A digital exhibit uses text presentation and display of digital resources (images, sound, video) to tell a story. In the creation process, ask yourself:

• Who is/are my target audience(s)?
• What parts of my story matter? 
• Is my story interesting? 
• Does my exhibit clearly and succinctly tell the story? (in 10-20 minutes)

Research, outline, and draft your exhibit outside of the Tulane Online Exhibits platform. Be prepared to use pencil and paper, a simple text editor, and/or a Word/Google document for the majority of the intellectual work of planning, writing, and editing your exhibit.
