Columbia DSL - Newsletter
Next month marks Columbia DSL’s 10th anniversary. In the fall of 2013, we held a gathering on campus in collaboration with the Brown Institute for Media Innovation. Close to 100 people joined from various industries for an open design session around what a digital storytelling lab at Columbia University could look like. The feedback from the session was carried forward into a series of planning sessions and in the spring of 2014 the Columbia DSL was formed.
