Abstract

Advances in technology have led to the burgeoning field of digital storytelling and other multimedia, which offer innovative opportunities for conducting and disseminating oral history and for the way it can be taught. In our teaching we have redefined our pedagogical approach to address the increasing need for humanization and socialization in a rapidly desensitized blended learning environment. Ethical considerations have always been at the heart of oral history practice and are ever more important in this digital age. Our aim, therefore, is to produce graduates prepared to enter their various professions as ‘good’ citizens with the necessary attributes to contribute positively to society. To achieve this aim we argue for the need to introduce progressive pedagogies whilst addressing the challenges of rapidly developing technologies in the teaching of oral history at the university level.
