Thanks so much Tim. I generally start off with a written storyboard to get the content in place. Once the content gets finalized, we move towards a visual storyboard which is mostly done by the graphic designer with static screens as described by the written storyboard. However, some clients prefer seeing a visual storyboard as it gives them an idea how the screen will lay out. But personally, i prefer the VSB as i am a very visual storyteller.😄
Hey Tim, thanks for sharing this! What advice would you give when dealing with long storyboards (module duration 30-45min). Is one approach better than the other? Experience has shown that clients find it challenging to review such a big storyboard, even though they will not consider breaking the module into a few shorter ones. Sometimes they don't even review such a big document because they don't have time.
In that case, I would break this into multiple, shorter review cycles. If they are unwilling to review the whole thing at once, have them approve it piece by piece as you draft the storyboard.
Call me old school, but my storyboarding consists of a Microsft Word outline. I work with my SMEs to create a detailed outline that can be used for slide numbering and narration/script. I then develop the content in Storyline using the outline and I output a draft using Articulate Review 360 for our review cycle. I typically go through at least 2 review cycles before the training is complete. This method seems to cut down on time where I am essentially illustrating an outline. Do I miss out on any benefits from doing it this way?
Thanks for sharing! If this currently is working for you and your SMEs, then keep doing it! However, you may find in the future that a more detailed storyboard might be necessary. But keep doing what's working for you!

Hi Tim....great video with examples...... I am new to this but I am finding that am a much more visual person so I tend to lean towards the visual story board.....my question is it ok to do visual and written storyboards side by side or is that going to be more confusing?

Hi Tim. how did you zoom in on the written story board?
Hi Mark. All of my videos are edited in Camtasia. So it was just a Zoom animation. I plan on doing a free webinar on it sometime in the near future.
@@elearningacdmy Great thanks! I'm great at facilitation but really need to improve on my designing skills in the world of elearning.
