Experts’ feedback on DST elements as infused in development process of mobile learning apps

Abstract

The usage of instructional media (apps) is poorly delivered due to inappropriate content of the presentation. Recent studies showed that perceptions among students and teachers regarding the use of apps are very low. Thus, Digital Storytelling (DST) concept is infused in developing the apps. Nevertheless, students are unable to comprehend DST clearly. The aim of this study is to identify DST elements for the development process of mobile learning apps. Critical analysis is employed based on previous studies to formulate generic DST elements. Eleven DST elements are formed and learning theories are adapted based on correct principles and procedures. This finding is very useful for representing the elements in accordance to the experts’ feedback. The elements should contribute a new pedagogical approach for teachers in developing apps with mobile technology.
