Launch the Twine Digital Storytelling Tutorial Set (Tutorials Open in New Window)
Twine is a free, open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories, created by Chris Klimas in 2009.
You don’t need to write any code to create a complex multimodal story with Twine, but you can extend your stories with variables, conditional logic, images and embedded video, music and sound effects, CSS, and JavaScript when you’re ready.
Twine publishes directly to HTML, so you can post your work nearly anywhere – including the New Media Modules Twine repository, or free twine hosting communities.
To upload your Twine project to the New Media Modules, visit our resources pages below.
Twine Version 1.4.2 for Windows and OS X is the version modeled in our tutorial and is ideal for telling complex, multimodal digital narratives and research artefacts.

Learning through Digital Storytelling
This video examines several key ideas in the pedagogy of production. It highlights what novice video producers like and need from their mentors as they acquire knowledge and skills through their own hands-on practice. Specifically, this video describes the importance of communities of practice, situated learning, and mentor ‘fading’ in creating authentic, meaningful research & narrative video projects.
Joslyn Hunscher-Young is a social studies teacher at Washtenaw International Middle Academy and High School in Ypsilanti. Her current practice is informed by her work in creating and running a youth media production program in Chester, Pennsylvania, from 2009-2010 called Chester Voices for Change.
