Digital Storytelling and the Transformation of Literary Engagement among University Students

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technologies has transformed the ways readers interact with literary texts. This article explores how digital storytelling platforms influence literary engagement among undergraduate students. Using qualitative analysis of classroom experiences and student reflections, the study demonstrates that multimedia narratives improve comprehension, encourage critical thinking, and increase motivation to read literary works. The findings suggest that digital storytelling complements traditional literary instruction while creating opportunities for collaborative learning. The article concludes that integrating digital media into literature classrooms can strengthen students' interpretative abilities and foster greater appreciation for literary studies.
