New Media Narrative at Bournemouth Univesrity

I've just finished marking the first ever batch of interactive new-media narratives to be created at BU using Genarrator. The pieces were all made by final year BA Communication and Media students. They are not technical wizards, but just interested in new forms of writing. Genarrator has been designed for this use, amongst others - to help 'non-technical' writers make a start on interactive storytelling. The work is really good - I'm very pleased with the way the students have not only taken on board some of the key issues about new-media storytelling that I have introduced, but also how well they've used Genarrator - often in ways I hadn't anticipated.

I'll be honest - some of the students used a simple website creation tool called Wix, and also created some great narratives. But overall, Genarrator has proven its worth, and I'm now looking for ways to expand the project. Next I think I'm going to work with local school children.
