This presentation will use a number of digital stories produced by students in the architectural technology and interior design departments at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, to illustrate how learning can be fun. Rather than writing essays, students produce all the required written and graphic work (precis, story board, script etc.) towards producing a short (3-5 minute) multi-media artefact. These projects show how interesting unintended outcomes are achieved, through authentic and fun learning practice.

Storytime
using digital stories for learning
Jolanda Morkel Department of Architectural Technology and Interior Design

extended curriculum
programme for architecture &
interior design – first year 2013
30 students

What about the project worked?
“Students with very limited experience in
conceptualising and postulating design were
noted to develop and articulate conceptual
design into tangible, expressive and
communicative projects.”

What about the project didn't work?
“Students were not prepared in terms of
discerning what technology to use, where and
how to effectively communicate ideas”
“Students struggled with abstract themes
(emotion) and were better at dealing with
concrete themes (identification of sites,
working with objects)"

Have the learning outcomes been met?
“Yes, but students should be guided further in
the articulation of their stories into tangible and
expressive work.”
“They should rather be provided with options of
place, objects and emotions, their conceptual
thinking is then developed instead through a
partial design exercise (synthesising the abstract
and the tangible). Limited creative autonomy
should thus be given to the students”

Do you feel that any of the learning outcomes
have not been met?
“How students learn through their stories and
what they learn through their stories, should
be made more explicit to them. Also, how to
transfer new insights gained, to architectural
design.”

Were there any unintended outcomes?
"Watching and hearing each others' stories has
(had a) positive overall effect for the class as a
whole.“
“Students appeared to be very proud of their
stories. It gives the student the opportunity to
be bold and give a performance through
multimedia rhetoric , without having to expose
themselves to personal crits.”

ICT Peer Mentoring

benchhood

Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered approach that uses hands-on activities to help students learn skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and time management. PBL acknowledges that learning occurs through social activities and experiences. It allows students to explore problems and construct solutions that can apply to real-world issues. PBL is significant because it prepares students for a changing world where skills like research, technology use, and information synthesis are increasingly important for solving complex problems. It also allows flexibility for different learning styles and interactions that promote critical thinking.

READ IT project

Michela Tramonti

The READ IT project aims to train teachers to make reading more engaging for students through digital storytelling and book trailers. The project addresses a need for teachers in the EU to develop digital skills. Teachers complete an online course to learn techniques for digital storytelling and book trailer production, then test these methods with their students. Students develop skills in writing, visual/technology literacy by creating book trailers. Evaluation found digital storytelling increased student engagement with reading, though schools' technology capacity varied. The project concludes digital methods can enhance traditional teaching when combined creatively.
