Understanding A/V at UC Merced - Storyboard

Title or Topic of Module/Lesson: Understanding A/V at UC Merced

Date this Design Created/Modified: 3/7/2017

Designers Name: Rachel Peters

Developers Name: TBD

Development Software: Adobe Captivate

Time: 7- 10 minutes

Style Considerations:

Default slide style will be provided: [link goes here]

UC Merced official color scheme for additional text or notations:
http://communications.ucmerced.edu/color-guidelines
Forward, back, and replay buttons should be present on every slide unless otherwise indicated
in the media notes.
Avatar should be a professional or educational choice, as he/she will represent higher education
faculty.

General Notes:

Media notes are color coded to the matching narration and media assets, so if a media note is
blue, thats what should be happening as the blue narration is occurring, using the blue listed
assets.
Times given are an estimate of how long a learner will spend on each slide, and are not the
lengths of the slides themselves. Slides can pause as soon as the narration is finished.
