Teaching Visually

Lightboard workshop

The workshop series was designed to get faculty and instructional staff up and running on the lightboard. The sessions were designed in 3 parts, or ‘acts’ as it were. Play. Plan. Produce.

Below we have included the workshop outline, the presentation slides, and storyboard templates. As an added bonus have included some of the videos our participants made during the production stage.
