"Multimodal Storytelling with the Media Suite in the International Classroom"

In this blog post, we reflect on the use of the Media Suite for multimodal storytelling practices in the international classroom. The CLARIAH Media Suite combines Dutch media data collections and makes audiovisual material from Dutch audiovisual collections more accessible for higher education (CLARIAH Media Suite - What is the CLARIAH Media Suite?, n.d.). From October 2021 until January 2022, we explored the use of the Media Suite together with a multicultural, interdisciplinary group of MA students with a background in media creation and innovation at the University of Groningen. The students used content from audiovisual collections in the Media Suite for creative storytelling practices. In this subject tutorial, we provide insights on how the Media Suite can be implemented for multimodal storytelling usage in the international classroom.
