Storytelling has been used traditionally around the world to educate informally from generation to generation.With the introduction and inclusion of technology and multimedia, storytelling crosses the boundary from being the informal medium to educate to one of the formal media to educate people.The term coined for this type of storytelling is digital storytelling and it is gaining popularity nowadays among educators in educating students. In order for educators or students to develop a good digital story, there are set of elements created by experts that will guide the entire development process.Nevertheless, there is more than one experts and each expert comes with varieties of elements though some are redundant.This could cause confusion among the developers be it educators or students.The main drive of this study is the question of which expert with particular set of elements is preferred by student in developing a digital story.Preference in our context is defined as the most easy to understand set of elements in order for the students to construct a good digital story.
