721] Digital Media and Storytelling in Higher Education of communication (n = 45) on different interfaces (e.g., blogs, news portals, and platforms specifically dedicated to DDS, such as Tableau or Infogram) to explore different types of DDS. The common feature of the interfaces was that their creators determined the order of visual elements by narrative elements. The research team found that the narratives contained both textual and iconic representations. The means of expressing the narrative and explaining the context included flowcharts with labels, text displayed in visualizations and the highlighting of text or visual elements. The elements of the narratives were linked to each other by interactions, similar colors, or animations. Navigation of the visualizations was assisted by previous/next buttons, section buttons, table of contents or maps. The exploration by the recipients was facilitated by the creators through innovative tools such as dynamic, embedded, and stand-alone visualizations. Static data-driven narrative presentations do not allow for audience interaction, they do provide a complex way of displaying multiple data contexts on a virtual canvas (Figure 4).
