FUNCTIONALITY DECISIONS
F Developer notes are arranged in chronological
order from start to finish, representing the
learner’s experience.
F Elements note how and when they are
“displayed.”
F Elements are noted for if they will stay or
disappear.
F Elements’ behaviors are identified.
F Elements that need to reset after being
interacted with are noted. For example:
F Whether or not a learner can try again
after answering a question incorrectly.
F Whether completed activities can be
redone.
F State changes from interactions are identified.
F Possible outcomes for a single interaction are
documented, such as:
F What should happen if the user clicks
a button?
F What happens if they click it again?
F What happens if they never click it at all?
F Notes are included for any variables used,
on how they will be modified based on user
behavior or results.
F SPECIFIC feedback is written for anything
where the user makes a decision that will
generate a response from the course.
KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
FUNCTIONALITY
F All quiz/knowledge check questions include
the right/wrong answers and provide a written
feedback message for the developer to use.
F All quiz behaviors are listed on the introduction
slides to the storyboard, including:
F What the passing score is.
F How many attempts are allowed.
F When the course should mark as complete.
NAVIGATION DESIGN
F If the course is designed to be locked, an error
message is written out for when the user tries
to click the forward arrow without interacting
with the slide.
F Specific instructions are included for slides that
branch. This might include:
F Jump To instructions from the main
branching page.
F Jump Back instructions when a certain
section of content is finished.
F Branching slide instructions contain current/
final slide numbers.
 VISUAL DESIGN ELEMENTS
F The correct elements are displaying upon
page load.
F Elements that come into the page at a later
time are being triggered correctly and on time.
F Instructions are clear and specific.
F Animation keys are set for the animation slides
and denote when audio is tied to animation.
F All images include a description, source, and
numeric code or clear file name.
F Final course matches the storyboard. Fix or
notate anything not represented appropriately.
AUDIO ELEMENTS
F Audio narration is used consistently on EVERY
page (with possible exceptions being quiz
questions in a test)—or not at all.
F Detailed instructions are included for when clips
should be played and what the triggers are.
F Replay audio is available.
F Parenthetical directions [Mark, sounding gruff
and frustrated] are included for the narrative, as
appropriate.
F Courses with multiple voices speaking are
clearly marked with each clip’s speaker. (narrator,
Sue, Bob, etc.)
F Audio is a shortened, basic summary of what’s
being shown on screen.
F No audio sections are longer than about 100
words without major movement or activity on
the screen. If there are, shorten the audio or
add more movement to the screen.
F Narrative represents the right “tone” for the
company or client. (formal, conversational,
energetic, etc.)
F Audio script contains natural contractions
and sentence structure that will enable the
voiceover actor to read it in a natural voice.

PROJECT SPECIFIC NOTES
F If the course is 508 compliant, check that:
F Narrative notes are in the transcript
when more than one person is speaking
in narration, including descriptions of
their mood.
F Descriptive alt tags are included for all
imagery and functional buttons.
F If the course is meant to display on mobile
devices, how the page design will need to be
modified is noted.
F All client or stakeholder requests are clearly
noted so that they don’t get lost or changed as
the course moves through production.
