Join us for an engaging webinar featuring Dr. Sarah Ketchley, our Senior Digital Humanities Specialist, Egyptologist, and faculty member in the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of Washington. In this session, Dr. Ketchley will explore how to leverage the tools in Gale Digital Scholar Lab to create StoryMaps: a digital tool that combines maps, multimedia, and narrative to create interactive and engaging storytelling experiences. To register for this online webinar please visit Gale’s registration page.
Attendees will gain insights into how to effectively utilize the Lab’s capabilities to enhance StoryMapping projects, enabling the incorporation of multimedia content, geospatial data, and interactive elements. Through examples from her own teaching and student projects, Dr. Ketchley will showcase the practical applications of StoryMaps, demonstrating how they can effectively present research findings, share narratives, and visualize data in a compelling and interactive manner. Additionally, she will provide pedagogical tips for implementing StoryMapping in the classroom, enhancing digital literacy skills and research outcomes.
