E-Learning Storyboard Examples #251: Challenge | Recap Whether you prefer scripts, blueprints, or rapid prototypes, chances are you’re using some type of storyboard to plan and organize your e-learning projects. In most cases, successful projects depend on the designer’s use of a storyboard. Storyboards are also one of the most popular discussions in our forums. New designers ask to see examples, download templates, and learn more about workflows and using storyboards. Experienced designers share their favorite tools and tips while debating the use of storyboards and prototypes. Regardless of your experience, storyboards are a critical element in the course design process. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about!

Rapid Prototypes and Wireframes #86: Challenge | Recap It’s Monday morning and you just sat down with a potential client to discuss their safety training. The client is new to e-learning and wants to convert their existing classroom materials into online training. Because this is their first experience in e-learning, they’d like to first get a feel for how their content and activities will work as an online course. You recommend starting slow and building out a functional prototype using some of their material. You really want this contract, so you agree to send them an example by the end of the day. Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to build a functional prototype using the OSHA Fall Prevention PowerPoint slides. Select a range of slides for your prototype making sure to include different types of content slides (objectives, navigation, quiz, scenarios). Remember: This is not a design challenge! Your objective is to create a working prototype to show how you might approach this content for a real-world project. We’re not looking for anything overly polished this week—simple boxes and arrows is enough! When you submit your prototype, please tell us how long you spent on the project. Example of a Rapid Prototype There are many ways you can approach this week's challenge. One way is to build out several slides to show how the client's content will look and function. Another approach is to build the skeleton of the course using placeholder text and graphics. Here's an example that uses real and placeholder content. It took me just over two hours to put this together. View the functional prototype Tom's 3C model is another way to think about functional prototypes. He uses a simple scenario model to help designers (and clients) visualize a 3-choice interaction: With the 3C framework, you can use placeholder graphics to build out working prototypes to share with your client: Those are just a couple ways to approach this week's challenge. What I'm most excited about seeing is the different ways to build functional prototypes.
