Title: Activity 3.1: Develop your Storyboard
Course: Stage 3: Online and Blended Teaching > Section: 1. Introducing Stage 3, Taking stock of our own courses and Storyboarding

Purpose: to develop a structured storyboard for your new module/course in which the learning outcomes are aligned with the assessment events, resources (content) and activities.

Timing: 10+50 = 60 mins

Tools: Forum, Jamboard

Resources: Storyboard Template (Jamboard); your Course Characteristics (.doc) & Course Description (.doc)

Task: Working individually or with your design team members, use your course description, outcomes, and identified course characteristics (features) to develop your storyboard.

  - Make a copy of the Storyboard (Jamboard) template and it will be automatically saved in your own Google Drive.
  - Rename with your own or your course name and create your storyboard with stickies.

Response:

  - Structure: Start by indicating the way that you structure your course in weeks / topics across the top row.
  - Outcomes: Specify your outcomes for each week / topic in the 2nd row.
  - Activities: Add possible learning activities appropriate to each section. At this stage, simply write the purpose of each activity - no detail.
  - Content: Divide your topic/week into smaller parts needed for each outcome.
  - Assessment: Show the assessment events related to each Outcome. At this stage, simply indicate how each assessment event addresses the course outcomes.

Notes: Your Activities, Content and Assessment can be interspersed for each topic or week.

  - As backup, also upload a screenshot of your storyboard into your 'Private Files' area.
    - You can take a screenshot by holding down the <Windows>+<shift>+<S> keys which opens your Snipping app. Drag your cursor (+) to outline the image you want to capture, and then save the image on your computer and in your Private Files area.
  - When you are ready, share your Storyboard with your group in this forum:
    - Initiate a new discussion topic, with your course name as the header.
    - Share your storyboard with your group by attaching a screenshot of the first few weeks and sharing the Jamboard link to view your storyboard.
    - In the body of your post, note any issues or considerations that you may have regarding your Storyboard.

Feedback:

  - Provide constructive feedback to at least one other participant of your group.
  - Review the feedback that you have received, and use it to improve your storyboard.
  - We will review some participant storyboards at the start of live session 2.
