Organising project phases
For managing e-learning projects, one of the first steps (I assure) is making a clear instructional script that defines different multimedia elements that will be present; it must be clear for stakeholders and the development team. This will be used for previous or more revisions but I thinks it's important to notice that, as an iterative product, it will be always matter of updatings (as mobile apps do).
I was also thinking in having, directly on the script, the elements that will be used in each slide (audio, images, videos, etc.) as I kind of need to revise them separately (like, is the video reproducing automatically or when clicking, etc).
Do you have any specific format for your instructional script? I've crafted one myself but still need to test it.If I don't have some kind of a source document (one commented mentioned PPT slides), I'll create a storyboard document in Word. It's just a standard document with a table for each slide. I attached an example for something I used a few years ago, stripped out some branding, and you'll have to forgive the blocky style the stakeholders decided on for the project. 😉
I'll use this when writing content with SMEs from scratch. It's a live document (comments/track changes) until it reaches final versioning, where I get an approval signature by a stakeholder; then it is versioned for a developer to use and becomes a live document again since sometimes things need to change and it's nice to document where/how/why when you have a difficult stakeholder/client.
