Using Storyline to storyboard projects
At last week's workshop with Charity Learning, we talked about storyboarding courses and the formats available to designers.
It doesn't matter at all how designers choose to write and storyboard ...
Like others here, I am responsible for the whole process - design through to implementation. I've found that prototypes work better with my SMEs than storyboards did, so I prototype in Storyline. It's a basic product - aimed at getting the SME to focus on the content and flow. If there is a particular interaction I want them to see I will include it without anything fancy. If they like it then it's done - no additional development to do. This method gives them a good idea of how the course will flow for the learner and the SME focuses on what's important at this stage - the content. I've found that it's been pretty effective at weeding out the 'nice to know' content too. Once edits are noted I can develop the course and save lots of time. And, when the SME sees the first version with design elements added it's not completely new to them.
