DS106 Radio Summer Camp

Imagine a day at summer camp, on the radio, connecting with friends old and new as you tell stories around the campfire, reflecting on the year that’s been and learning a whole lot along the way. 

Join us for a day of radio fun as we go back to camp. Tune in to sessions sharing adventures in Higher Education and beyond as we celebrate the end of one academic year and gather our energy for the next.

Simply take your headphones, head outside into the sunshine and tune in. It’s online conferencing…. but not as you know it. DS106 Radio Summer Camp is free to attend for all, and we encourage you to bring a friend!

A bit about DS106 radio

Internet radio is not a new medium in open and distance education, and during the pandemic saw a resurgence as educators took to the airwaves on grassroots stations such as DS106 Radio.

Digital Storytelling (also affectionately known as ds106) is an open, online course that happens at various times throughout the year at the University of Mary Washington… but you can join in whenever you like and leave whenever you need.

DS106 began at the University of Mary Washington in Spring of 2010 when Jim Groom re-imagined the way the Computer Science Course in Digital Storytelling, CPSC 106, might be taught. Since Jim Groom blogged about ds106 as an open and online experiment on December 7, 2010, this site has aggregated and archived 92308 blog posts created by its participants.
