Storyboard: <Name>

Storyboard: <Name>
This document contains the voice over script to be recorded for the above-named e–learning unit or lesson. Reference numbers shown in the far-left column are only to guide developers and do not
appear in the final product so as to preserve the option of multiple usage. Slide content in the form of text, graphics, animation or video is described in the first large column at left. Voice-over text is
shown in the middle (yellow) column. Technical instructions to developers appears in the far right column. This document should be read in conjunction with the relevant Lesson Plan (if it exists) and
the Design Specification document for this project. These documents contain details about Learning Objectives and technical constraints that may affect development. Once the voiceover is
signed off or approved, paste the voiceover text from this doc into the audio script area for each relevant Captivate slide so that Spanish translators can easily access it from within the movie source
file. Once this content has been transferred to the storyboard, it is maintained from there.
The Storyboarding Process:
In general, when creating a storyboard for an e-learning project, it is recommended to “start with the end in mind” as follows:
1. Design high-level learning objectives for the known subject matter. These are hierarchical with each unit having a primary learning objective, which is broken down into objectives for each lesson,
and then each topic within each lesson.
2. Develop an outline of the knowledge required for learners to achieve the high-level objectives. Break down difficult concepts into smaller “chunks” to reduce cognitive load on learners.
3. Design appropriate assessment interactions that will validate mastery of each learning objective.
4. Finally, when WHAT you need to teach is clearly defined, develop HOW you will teach the required knowledge by completing the finer detail of the storyboard. The nature of the project determines
how much detail you should include. In general, do not attempt to include images in the Slide Content column, only descriptions of what will appear.
5. Submit the storyboard to stakeholders for approval. Direct them to concentrate mostly on the content of the voiceover script and to expect some slight variation once the final product is developed.
6. Once approval has been given, create Captivate lessons as per the instructions in the storyboard, add the necessary multimedia elements as defined. After this point the storyboard becomes
largely redundant because ongoing reviews, approvals and change requests are usually performed by viewing output formats from Captivate, either as actual multimedia lessons or as Word
document storyboards. No purpose is served by updating the original storyboard document from then on.The advantage of using Captivate in this way is that the storyboard contains a thumbnail of
the slide content as well as text from the slide and audio track.
