StoryMap: Digital Storytelling

May 7, 2016

StoryMap is a platform where users can create a digital storybook. By connecting multimedia with precise geo-locations on a map, interactive timelines are constructed. This tool has been used by a range of actors to conduct public diplomacy, from Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty to a USC-created guide to public diplomacy practitioners in Los Angeles.
