Same as SPN 291. A course designed for students who have spent a semester, summer, Interterm or year abroad. After introducing the methodology of digital storytelling, in which images and recorded narrative are combined to create short video stories, students write and create their own stories based on their time abroad. Participants script, storyboard, and produce a 3–4 minute film about the challenges and triumphs of their experience, to then share it with others.

For 1 additional credit in their major or in the translation concentration, students may enroll in a Special Studies course to translate and narrate their stories into the language of the country where they spent their time.
