Moreover, the current paper focuses on how storyboarding provides platforms for the students to be active, creative, and critical thinkers and learning is not limited to only remembering while they analyze their works, reflect, and progress. The researchers have highly recommended incorporating the storyboarding technique in higher education classrooms and fusing it with other innovative techniques to make a classroom interesting, engaging, and interactive. Adding the storyboarding approach, students get motivated and feel confident and competent after the completion of mapping out their ideas visually, cognitively, and creatively.
