The brief storyboard activity illustrated is intended to highlight how the use of some graphical images can draw attention to the task to be outlined. The task is for course assessors to determine how an activity involving a group discussion and/or decision making needs to be evidenced so that each individual participant's contribution is noted and can be accounted for.
The scenario is that the learners shown are relating their involvement in a work experience programme and comparing their achievement in terms of knowledge and practice. The problem then as stated and reinforced by the graphics is how to record what each person contributes to the discussion as an illustration of what each has learned.
This is a common problem in assessment where groups are involved
Such a group of graphics might also serve to illustrate to the participating learners the need to record their own experiences prior to the group discussion. The use of multimedia in preparation for a group discussion such as each participant recording a short face to camera account of their experience of the work placement would be very helpful and ensure each learner did present an account of themselves to the group. They would then introduce this to the group which would form the basis of discussion and each learner could make notes of the key learning points from each. A final contribution might be for each learner to compare their own experience with the others and learning points arising.
The conclusion is that a story telling activity can both highlight issues for assessment to the learners as well as to the assessors.
