The DS106 corses offered by Jim Groom along with Alan Levine have always had narrative threads running through them - think of the 'Summer of Oblivion', for example. In this post Alan Levine is moved to ponder whether this would work for courses not directly tied to the idea of digital storytelling. " The challenge is to now see what it would take to find a narrative thread in other kinds of courses. And without it being a significant overhead...The theme need not be one of mystery or darkness either, it just ought to be something that makes assignments and activities focus on something other than completing them."
