Storyoboarding is the intermediate step between agreeing on an outline for your course and starting development. As such it is probably the key step in getting everyone thinking about what the course will really be about.
The storyboard defines the structure, tone, level of detail and flow of your course. It’s your course’s blueprint, placing the multimedia aspect – audio, graphics, interactivity and animated effects – into a paper document that’s readily accessible. Once past the storyboard phase, the project can go into development with assurance that the final outcome will meet the expectations of everyone concerned.

Here’s a link where you can pull up a PDF’d version of our template:
