Empowering Digital Storytelling in Higher Education

Universities have incredible stories to tell about innovation and the people who make learning possible. 

Digital storytelling brings them to life. It gives universities a way to turn academic work, campus history, and student experiences into interactive narratives that invite exploration.

Smart, Sustainable Storytelling

  • Location-aware content: Serve up content based on where visitors are.

  • Give visitors tap-and-go engagement through a stable & secure platform. 

  • Say goodbye to printed brochures &  outdated monolingual signage.

  • Fast to launch: Skip the expensive custom apps and start quickly with tools that work on visitors' own phones.

What Digital Storytelling for Universities Looks Like Today

Printed materials, one-off websites, and static displays no longer match how students and visitors consume information.

Digital storytelling for educational purposes is:

  • Multimedia-rich, blending video, images, text, and audio into cohesive experiencses

  • Collaborative, enabling contributions from different departments or student groups

  • Responsive, optimized for phones, tablets, and desktops

  • Customizable, adaptable to any academic or outreach context

  • Insight-driven, with analytics that show what content resonates most

The result is an engaging, connected digital presence that feels both official and personal.

✅ What to Consider Before Choosing

A Storytelling tour/tool is more than a utility, it's a direct extension of your brand, values, and trust with your community. Be sure to evaluate:

    1. Who is behind the platform?
    2. How secure and compliant is it?
    3. Will the user experience reflect your standards?
    4. Is the product growing with the sector, or lagging behind it?
