Abstract

This case study demonstrates how an innovative workshop approach can transform traditional presentation experiences into engaging, supportive learning environments through creative storyboarding activities. By reimagining how students share their knowledge through informal, artistic expression rather than formal presentations, students develop both confidence and communication skills while maintaining high levels of engagement. The success of this approach is evidenced by strong student feedback, particularly from those who traditionally find presentations challenging, and the natural way peer support emerges through the workshop format. The casestudy examines how creating a "human environment where people begin to trust one another" can lead to authentic learning experiences. This approach suggests a model for other programs seeking to develop more inclusive and supportive ways for students to demonstrate their understanding beyond traditional presentation formats.
