Activity
• Think of a module that you are teaching and:
– Decide what activities and e-tivities* will help these
learners to achieve your desired outcome
– Decide what learning tools and resources are appropriate
(you may include any e- and m-technologies)
– Describe how you will structure learners’ interactions and
support
* ‘E-tivities’ (Salmon, 2002) generally involve the teacher providing a small piece of
information, stimulus or challenge (the 'spark‘). For example, learners take part in an online
discussion or activity which requires them to respond in some way
Decide a series of discrete topics and write each in a box. (Use one colour of post-it notes, e.g. orange).
Use a different colour post-it note to represent assessment (e.g. yellow). If assessment only occurs at the end of the module, you should just have a single yellow post-it with a description of this, at the end of the storyboard. If assessment instances occur during the module, please use post-its throughout to represent that.
Rewrite and move around the post-it notes until you are satisfied.
Add possible learning activities (or e-tivities) appropriate to each section using a third colour post-it note (e.g. green). Use one green post-it note for each e-tivity you identify. Stick these post-it notes in the appropriate section of the storyboard. On each post-it note, at this stage, simply write the purpose of each e-tivity.
