Title: Moving forward with your Learning Design - Storyboarding
Course: Stage 3: Online and Blended Teaching > Section: 1. Introducing Stage 3, Taking stock of our own courses and Storyboarding

The purpose of identifying your course characteristics and thinking about learning pathways will become clearer as you focus in more depth on how to manifest these characteristics in your courses. Let's continue by thinking about what a learning pathway would look like in our courses.

Recommended preparation resources:

- CILT (2020). Learning Pathway . Video extract (7m) from Contact North webinar ‘How to Apply a Low-Tech Approach for Successful Remote Learning’, 12 November 2020.
- Saide (2008).  How people Learn: a Learning Spiral. Online Saide Design Guide.

Storyboarding

You will now develop a Storyboard to create an overview of how the key elements of your course are implemented week by week, topic by topic, or phase by phase.

Think about the module/course you are designing. A storyboard is a useful high-level design element (tool) to establish your course structure and align many elements of your course such as learning outcomes, assessment, activities and resources (content).

You can now draw on your course description and course mapping table, then work within the timing provided by your institutional schedule to lay out your course for consideration. This will help you to pull together all of your earlier work in designing the course elements. You are really moving along now! You will be provided with a template to guide you.

To do:

- To understand the purpose of Storyboarding, watch the short InSync Training (2017) video (3m18s) What’s the Story behind Storyboarding?

- Note that although we will start with a simpler form of Storyboarding using Jamboard, those of you more experienced with storyboarding should feel free to use an alternate tool with which you are already familiar.
- You will receive a template to guide you in this task.
