Abstract
This chapter focuses on user engagement to argue how combining self-directed and inquiry-based learning strategies with a practice-as-research approach in a 2017 practical film course resulted in theory-empowered practice. L. Berkeley argues that it is necessary to address the multiple literacies, including skills and competencies, needed for the different forms of communication in use today. J. T. Caldwell argues that through professionals’ self-theorization in interviews, documents, and artifacts, practice also generates knowledge. The chapter discusses the design of user engagement, with a focus on three elements of the 5E model – enter, engage, and exit – as a framework. By providing R. Lachman's discussion of the 5E model as a theoretical framework for understanding interactive narratives, students were able to connect their own experiences and understanding of interactive narratives to their own practices.
