'The model for digital storytelling first developed by Joe Lambert and others at the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) has been adopted and variously transformed for use in an ever-increasing number of mainly institutional contexts, many of which are represented in the present volume. In most forms of digital storytelling understood in this way, everyday storytelling, life narrative, and the domestic archive of biographical images are re-mediated through the production and distribution of digital stories, transforming them from one-to-one, private forms of communication and translating them into contexts here they can potentially contribute to public culture (Burges 2006a, Burgess, Klaebe, and Foth 2006).'
