A History of ds106

This course community 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 92792 blog posts created by its participants.

Below is a semester by semester collection of highlights and information about the iterations of ds106 at UMW and elsewhere. See also:
