That was a great show. Leonard Nemoy playing host to a field trip to the unknown. You'd never get that on the air these days. People don't really want to think while watching television.
I googled 'multimedia storytelling,' 'interactive stoytelling,' and 'digital storytelling' today while putting in my GRA hours. Lots o' stuff. Here's what I found in order of importance to me:
Defining Multimedia Storytelling - great dialogue among MIT folks
Language and Conversation in Multimedia Storytelling - This guy is one techno-teacher. I got to meet him.
Historical Photographs and Multimedia Storytelling - I've got an interest in documentary film so this fit.
Storytelling On-line - Just the tip of the iceberg when you think about how story is shared via the web.
Storyvine - digital storytelling blog
Elements of Digital Storytelling - great overview, not fully functional, but that may be a php thing.
Erasmatazz Interactive Storytelling Technology - this guy has a great idea, don't know if it worked, came out in '98.
Mountain Workshops - this is more photojournalism, but that's still digital storytelling.
Digital Storytelling Finds Its Place in the Classroom - I had to include this. I wrote this a few years ago and I'm amazed at how many syllabi it turns up on when I'm googling 'digital storytelling'
Interactive Storytelling for Kids - this is mostly Choose Your Own Adventure stuff, but it's relevant for edu-tech.
Mutlimedia Storytelling makes it to PBS - this is as close as DS has made it to mainstream media
On-line Story forms - mostly how news is shared via multimedia
