Using Photo Story 3 (and Similar Free Downloadable Tools) in Assessment

The workshop will introduce Photo Story 3, a free Microsoft software package, and show examples
of how students on BA (Hons) Childhood Studies have used this tool. Participants will then have the opportunity to develop their own Photo Story using digital images that they bring to the workshop.
Photo Story 3 is used with students as part of a range of summative assessment methods across
the programme in support of the learning and teaching strategy because it enables students to
construct reflective accounts using image and narration and thus to enhance skills, for example,
in the use of ICT and presentation. This workshop considers the use of Photo Story 3 (and similar
tools) in learning, teaching and assessment. A plenary to discuss the potential and pitfalls of such tools will conclude the workshop. A handout detailing web based resources will also be provided.
