Digital Storytelling in African Higher Education

Abstract

Higher education is considered a field in which students, teachers, and researchers develop a broader view of concepts in a detailed and profound manner. Education in Africa has been seen as a field of continuous progress due to the historical and cultural entity of the continent. Efforts to keep educational content innovative and modern have been documented by many researchers in the field of digital narratives in education. Digital narratives are a new method of reporting various content in education. This research aims to unveil the promoted skills and domains in which digital narratives are incorporated in African higher education. To achieve the said aim, a qualitative document analysis was performed on several selected studies performed in African contexts. The findings suggest that digital narratives aid in improving motivation, self-confidence, cultural exposure, expression, and analytical skills among students.
