Dear Andrew,
I've got a blog which might be useful to you:
www.thegameaboutlove.tumblr.
I think question 10 is most interesting.
1. Notion of bringing stories to life
Not sure what to say about this. Many possible angles.
2. Difference between the term 'Story' and 'Narrative' and their misuse, is it important to distinguish?
Someone corrected me on this. A narrative is something that tells a story. Not sure how important this is.
3. Is Interactive Storytelling a contradictory statement? Should stories rely on flow, rather than game-like mechnanics?
The mechanic of interaction can often get in the way of the story. I think David Crane's Heavy Rain and Farenheit are case in points. On the other hand Final Fantasy XIII is the other extreme - a moment of interaction and then half an hour of storytelling.
4. Statement: Whether the story is linear or multi-directional, the user experience is still linear. True or False?
True- because it is the only one the player experiences.
5. Exploration of Tools for Storytelling
Conductrr is the one we learned about. I'm not sure what else is out there.
6. Using Storytelling as a Teaching Method
7. 'Narrative Architecture'
Not sure what this means.
8. 'Interactive Narrative' - Look at World Without Oil - Ken Eckland.Who is contributing the interactive stories.
I don't understand.
9. Is Transmedia Storytelling Immersive?
Depends on your definition of immersive. Transmedia is more than one media - it can be immersive, but I think that is more to do with how good your story is. Most transmedia is obsessed with juvenile themes and therefore IMHO is not immersive.
Don't confuse immersive with overwhelming - often Transmedia is.
10. Interactive Stories and problems with User Engagement.
Also see:
11. Study of Interactive Stories that are navigated through Emotional responses.
This is the example I am most familiar with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Others were talking about:

12. Study of Immersiveness and Interactivity in Transmedia Storytelling
None that I'm aware of.
13. Examples of Gestural Interactive Storytelling
Don't know what that means.
14. Augmented Reality Storytelling
AR is a tool that can be used in storytelling.
15. Gamification and tensions with Interactive Storytelling
Gamification means making something a game that isn't one. http://www.ted.com/talks/
16. Transmedia Storytelling: Interactive Fiction and Interactive Scenarios
Nothing to say about this.
17. Visual Storytelling
Not sure what this means.
18. Defining a Markup language for writing stories for the web
Maybe look at Quest or Storynexus.
19. Adapting classic written stories, and conversion into Interactive Digital Stories.
Maybe possible thematically...
20. Multiplayer Interactive Narrative
See above - A Machine to see with.
21. Mapping timelines between two storyworlds
See above - A Machine to see with.
22. Geo-locational Storytelling
The Guardian did an app that allowed you to hear a story as you approached certain buildings. I can't find it now, but I did find this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/
23. Player inputs and motivations within Interactive Story Participation
There is a hardcore of players within Transmedia. Looking into their motives might be too predictable.
Regards,
Sarbjit.
