Integrating Multimodal Storyboarding to Develop Digital and Visual Literacy

Abstract

This session explores the design and outcomes of a dynamic learning experience where storyboarding bridges traditional art with digital technology. This activity mandates that participants blend foundational sketching and coloring with contemporary AI and digital production tools (e.g., via iPads and cameras) in a sequential, scaffolded process. This session will showcase how this practical, multi-stage workflow—including individual and collaborative writing, visual composition, and digital refinement—cultivates a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. We will analyze student-generated short productions and discuss the pedagogical efficacy of integrating low-stakes analog creativity with high-tech digital application.
