Education in Africa has been seen as a field of continuous progress due to the historical and cultural entity of the continent. Efforts to keep educational content innovative and modern have been documented by many researchers in the field of digital narrativesin education. Digital narratives are a new method of reporting various content in education. This research aims to unveil the promoted skills and domains in which digital narratives are incorporated in African higher education. To achieve the said aim, a qualitative document analysis was performed on several selected studies performed in African contexts. The findings suggest that digital narratives aid in improving motivation, self-confidence, cultural exposure, expression, and analytical skills among students.  \nKeywords: digital narratives, higher education, African education, skills, motivation, skills.  \nIntroduction  \nEducation is a fundamental human right and an essential contributing component to the development of nations (United Nations, 1948) . The process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and developing values and attitudes guarantees the effective functionality of society members. The quality of education provided, and its effect, influence national and economic development, personal and ethical growth, and global citizenship (Boccanfuso, Larouche & Trandafir, 2015; Samuelsson, Lindstorm, 2022). Education in Africa can be labeled as a complex issue, many challenges and disparities can be found across the continent. Despite the efforts of numerous organizations over recent years, access to quality education remains a significant problem for African nations (Teferra, 2014). According to UNSICO (2010) reports demonstrate the growth in enrollment in African regions such as the sub-Saharan region and how it remains the lowest in the world at 6% . These numbers are the outcomes of many influencing factors such as poverty, lack of infrastructure, and conflict.  \nIn recent years of research, the efforts performed to enhance and develop the sector of education in Africa have been documented. In the scope of this study, we elaborate on the attempts at modernization and digitalization of the field through digital storytelling. In recent years, digital storytelling has become a useful tool for research in social and educational contexts. It involves using different digital media  \n∗PhD Candidate, ELTE, Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Education and Psychology, Institute of Education, Hungary.  \n±Associate Professor & Lecturer at the Institute of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Education and Psychology, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary.  \nto create personal narratives and stories, like short films told from a personal perspective (Robin 2008). Digital storytelling allows us to explore individuals'experiences more deeply, and is part of the traditional individual narrative framework, but with a technological interference (Bolivar and Domingo 2019).  \nDigital storytelling is a versatile approach that can be used for research, combining both digital and traditional media to produce accurate results. Exposure to digital content is apart of learners’ daily lives, therefore, its integration into education can promote long-term learning outside the formal educational context. It can also serve as a mean of promoting creativity and narrative skills, while simultaneously acting as a representation of personal and group identity with an artistic touch. Learners can either present their experience or reflect on peer presentation which promotes critical thinking and analytical skill development Additionally, digital storytelling can create virtual learning environments that utilize web applications, mobile technology, and social networ","cbCaihfRHLWSnYI4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihfRHLWSnYI4","pdf",264133,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Education as a human right and development driver\n## Challenges in African education access and quality\n# Digital storytelling in educational modernization\n## Digital storytelling as a research and teaching tool\n# Research Questions\n## Skills promoted by digital storytelling in Africa\n## Contexts of digital storytelling integration","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this research on digital storytelling in African higher education?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to reveal the skills and learning domains where digital narratives are incorporated in African higher education.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted?\",\"answer\":\"The research used a qualitative document analysis on several selected studies in African contexts.\"},{\"question\":\"What skills does the study associate with digital storytelling for students?\",\"answer\":\"The findings link digital narratives to improved motivation, self-confidence, cultural exposure, expression, and analytical skills.\"}]","Digital Storytelling in African Higher Education | PDF",1792077084,45,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,117,122,127,130,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":85,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":128,"slug":129},30,"research-report",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
