چکیده
Digital storytelling is a modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling and represents a challenging new tool in the service of education. This paper introduces a novel model for the evaluation of the pedagogical soundness of Educational Digital Storytelling Environments (EDSE). This model is based on modern social and constructivist views of learning and is consisted of sixteen dimensions. The model is in the form of a star, named ‘Digital Storytelling pedagogical evaluation star’ consisting of sixteen peaks as the number of the dimensions of the aforementioned evaluation model. The proposed model may help the researchers and the designers to pedagogically analyze existent EDSE and to make appropriate decisions for the design of future EDSE. Moreover, this model can help teachers to choose appropriate EDSE so that be able to fulfill specific pedagogical goals in their classrooms. Finally, a representative EDSE is analyzed using the aforementioned evaluation model.
