An inclusive approach to learning
Through making their own animations, learners develop opportunities to engage with school specific curriculum content, communicate ideas, solve problems, collaborate, make decisions and build confidence – all through a creative process that can be adapted to different strengths, needs and ways of learning.
Learners don’t just watch. They create.
The Animation Curriculum is an inclusive, research-informed approach that places learners at the centre of the learning process.
“It is such a perfect combination of differentiated instruction, technology integration, learning, assessment, creativity, and just overall fun wrapped into a single, streamlined project.”
Teacher in British Columbia, Canada
Learning happens when we make
Traditional learning can often place learners in the role of observer: listening, watching, reading and remembering.
The Animation Curriculum takes a different approach. Learners become creators, communicators, storytellers.
The process of producing an animation provides a structured sequence of opportunities to explore ideas, develop knowledge, make choices, overcome challenges and communicate understanding.
From developing an idea based around a curriculum topic, creating characters to planning scenes, recording sound and producing a finished animation to share, every stage of the process becomes part of the learning journey.
A framework for educators
The Animation Curriculum provides educators with a practical structure for bringing animation-based learning into their existing teaching.
With support, each programme is adapted to the learners and curriculum context.
The curriculum provides guidance, structure and creative activities while allowing educators to make professional decisions about the content being delivered.
“I thought it was animation, but what they’ve actually got from it is far more than what I first imagined.”
