Digital Storytelling, or DS106, is an open course that anyone with an internet connection, software or web-based tools, and a lot of creativity can join. It was started by the University of Mary Washington and is still run in a hands-off manner to this day. While there are no teachers for this course, there are a variety of assignments meant to challenge how you use digital tools on the internet. Along with archived assignments, DS106 also has the Daily Create, which puts out new and relatively easy assignments every day that you can participate with through tagging their Twitter account.
