Instructional Design for eLearning: Storyboarding Level 1

Kick off your level one journey by examining a brief with the raw content, and walk through each element of the brief one by one to build your storyboard foundations.

Learn to craft a course brief with course name, audience details, language needs, and level one objectives for Excel 2010 tasks like opening a blank workbook and inserting a worksheet.

Treat raw content as a client-validated element of the brief, in formats pdf, excel, doc, or map; analyze gaps guiding objectives such as opening a blank workbook and managing worksheets.

Define the relationship between storyline and characters in a level one storyboard, selecting a single male narrator with no dialogue to present Excel tasks and mentoring.

Understand how to define audio elements, quizzes, and assessments in briefs for a 10 to 12 minute course, including voice profile, quiz frequency, question types, and scoring.

Explore a typical level one course, its indoor activities, and the course's purpose, as described in the introduction.

Provide the most basic e-learning experience with no or limited interactivity, where the learner mostly clicks next to proceed. Explain that interactivity determines budget, making level one the cheapest option.

Explains typical indoor activities in level 1 courses, including static text, stock images and tables, links to videos and glossaries, plus basic quizzes, with variations driven by budget.

Explain how level 1 courses impart information to the learner, focusing on knowledge and comprehension, by presenting simple terms and conditions, rules, and procedures slide by slide.

Understand the elements and template of the course outline, and learn how to fill in content from the brief and the raw content before storyboarding, an important step.

Explore the elements of a course outline in instructional design for eLearning, map them into a template, and learn to organize modules, topics, content, treatment, duration, and assessments.

Demonstrates filling an outline for Excel 2010 basics from a client brief and raw content, detailing objectives, content, treatments, durations, topics, modules, and storyboard steps for eLearning.

Script a level one course storyboard from the brief and raw content for the Excel 2010 basics course.

Script introduction slides by placing a client logo, course details, and notes to client in the storyboard menu screen, then map the menu to the course outline.

Script the first module by aligning the module name, topic, and course outline content into storyboard slides with graphics and narration.

script module two of the storyboard by outlining spreadsheet basics, including opening a new blank workbook, slide content chunking, and highlighting key steps with on-screen text and visuals.

Design the storyboard assessment by outlining rules and instructions, enabling repeated attempts, and including templates for true/false, single select, and multi-select questions with audio and graphic notes.
