This study examined the application of digital storytelling pedagogical design by business educators in tertiary institutions in Anambra State. One research question guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 99 business educators from public tertiary institution in Anambra State. Census survey technique was used due to the relatively small size of the population. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Digital-storytelling Pedagogical Design Questionnaire” (DPDQ) which was validated by three experts. Cronbach alpha was used to determine the reliability of the instrument and it yielded reliability coefficient of 0.88. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer research question while t-test was used in testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed among others that business educators applied digital story telling pedagogical design at a low level in tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that business educators should digitalize instructional delivery so as to ensure easy access to equitable quality education, distance and location notwithstanding. Lecturers should from time to time avail themselves the opportunity to get acquainted with the state-of-the-art technology by attending the training programmes, workshops and seminars.
