OLC Framework for Storying Digital Learning Change Work
Shellgren, Madeline; Gunder, Angela; Lashley, Jonathan
Online Learning Consortium
The "OLC Framework for Storying Digital Learning Change Work" provides an open resource for educators using narrative and storytelling to map the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to online, blended, and digital learning. The OLC Framework for Storying Digital Learning Change Work (p. 5) provides users the ability to contextualize strategic initiatives and collaborative action within both metaphorical and literal framings of each of the SDGs. Additionally, the OLC Alignment Resource for Storying Digital Learning Change Work (p. 10) offers examples of each sustainable development goal situated within a specific digital learning challenge and paired with an opportunity to advance the SDG through leadership and collaboration. Both frameworks utilize storytelling as a powerful tool to make sense of the world, encouraging readers to work as a connected and engaged community of practice to dispel myths, bringing them to a place of empathy and understanding, and helping them enact generative action steps to improve access to quality education. As readers leverage this framework to create an action plan for global change within their specific digital learning context, they will be asked to create their own interpretations of one (or several) of the SDGs that speak to real challenges and opportunities that exist within their community. Using narrative elements and human-centered design, the OLC Framework for Storying Digital Learning Change Work will reveal new connections and extensions to increasing the impact and scale of one's efforts. Additionally, users are encouraged to share their ideas, reflections, and findings with both their local and global communities, all in the hopes of increasing the collective power to address ubiquitous challenges through open praxis and collaboration. Ultimately, their stories will not only illuminate new pathways to creating meaningful change but will also serve as inspiration for future leaders looking to learn from their findings and experience. Both the OLC Framework for Storying Digital Learning Change Work and the OLC Alignment Resource for Storying Digital Learning Change Work are openly licensed for educators to use and repurpose with attribution.
