Components of e-learning (Komenczi, 2004. p. 32) The Internet and the digital environment provide an interactive information and communication platform throughout the narrative creation process. Digital tools connected to the web can be used to store and edit data, as well as to communicate and collaborate. The creation of digital narratives requires the use of physical hardware devices (such as smartphones or desktop computers) as well as offline and online software environments. To create a narrative, students conduct source research, selecting their sources from hypertext and multimedia information environments stored on desktop computers or cloud-based repositories. The information is processed and the verbal, visual or audiovisual narrative is edited using a software. These creative activities can be carried out independently of contact hours on a personal time schedule. The online environment allows the creative process to be accompanied by interactive online communication between students and narratives are also able to be publicized through online sharing. The essence of teaching and learning through ICT. Education can only be achieved through precise planning of steps and tools, in which the instructor must follow the principles of modularity, sequentiality and integration of digital systems. Komenczi (2013) does not view the e-learning environment as a substitute for traditional learning environments but as a new learning environment complemented by electronic tools specific to the information society. In the case of digital narrative creation, it is also not possible to separate learning activities in the formal learning environment from those that take place online.
