The teaching and learning process in the digital landscape is no longer traditional one-way knowledge delivery. Using trio-ethnography, we sought to explore how to integrate digital storytelling into teaching and learning processes to engage learners. Central to our paper are our narratives via three lenses: educators, learners, and storyteller. In the three circles of an Indigenous approach, we share our narrative inquiries in different contexts and are rooted in three key topics: elements of digital storytelling, peer to peer learning, and level of engagement. We found that educators are not the primary source for integrating digital tools. Inquiry-based peer-to-peer learning determines the efficacy of learners’ meaning-making and engagement. Aiming for explicit learning outcomes, educators would flexibly modify activities for diverse learning styles. In addition, empathy is the catalyst for lecturer-student intellectual relationships, enabling appropriate learning experience design approaches. Further, we hope to contribute to the trio-ethnographic methodology by using visual communication through sharing circles to articulate our meaning-making and illustrate our trusted connections.
