Part IV. Storytelling and Learning in the 21" Century ] 145 CHAPTER 5. THE CREATION OF DIGITAL NARRATIVES ACCORDING TO THE SAMR AND PICRAT MODELS Digital narrative creation in integrated learning environments can be captured in a complex way using the SAMR and PICRAT models. The SAMR model describes the different levels of technology integration (Puentedura, 2006). Digital tools can be used to substitute or augment a physical tool and can be used to modify or redefine the learning and teaching process. Toth-Mozer and Misley (2019) illustrated the four levels through tasks related to a compulsory school reading, Egri csillagok (The Stars of Eger) (Figure 17). What characterizes the historical era of the novel? Together, create an online mind map, Redefinition organizing the most important features and events ofthe era, and connecting them with the content elements of the novel, Use text, image and video elements as well, then present them Tech allows for the creation of new tasks, previo yinconcemable Modification Gather the multimedia content related to the book into a Google document. Based on these, characterize a character and make a presentation about it.

Make a ppt presentation of the book involving the new content.

The processing of Géza Gardonyi’s The Stars of Eger based on the SAMR model (according to Töth-Mözer & Misley, 2019, p. 156) The figure shows that at the level of substitution, the same text only appears as cross-media content on a different platform. In the augmentation, the student is active but could just as easily create a summary of the content in a notebook as he or she could with a digital tool. A higher level of online source research and organization of the novel is achieved by modification, a process in which students reconstruct the story using multiple media. At the level of reinterpretation, the students create a digital narrative with their peers which also constitutes a group interpretation. In higher education, the model is interpreted at the level of substitution and augmentation, where the instructor places a video recording of his or her lecture and the associated assignments in the university’s LMS - in this case, the integration of technology replaces the physical medium and allows for easier access and interpretation. A significant improvement in the quality of the assignments can be achieved at the level of
