The integration of mobile documentary media production with Geographic Information System (GIS) storymapping projects is a critical new literacy for students and citizens. With ESRI’s StoryMaps technologies, teaching students or community members to create beautiful web-based projects that integrate all kinds of maps and media has become accessible. We use ArcGIS and the mobile film studio that lives on our smartphones.
With the Stories-in-Motion 10-week course, StoryCenter’s Joe Lambert returns to two of his favorite projects of the last 20 years: storytelling for mobile devices and story-mapping.org, his effort to geo-locate stories about place, change, and resistance. In this course, participants will reflect on changes in their immediate communities to create stories using app-based photography and video on iOS and Android devices, edit in WeVideo, and explore the ArcGIS StoryMaps and Google Maps software to create multi-point story map documentary projects.
This workshop requires attendance at ten online sessions on Wednesdays from March 17 through May 19, 2026. Each session is two hours and begins at 9 am Pacific Time. You will need a computer, smartphone, and access to ArcGIS.
Registration closes when it reaches capacity. For questions, send an email to workshop@storycenter.com.
