Storyboard to Development

My company transitioned to Lectora in a package with Camtasia and Snagit. I developed a sample project from Lesson 8: Execute Tasks with Cortana of an existing storyboard as an exercise to help me learn to use the new programs. 

This rough draft is not a finished product - it's lacking in quite a few areas including volume controls. Lectora did not have a default player like Captivate or Storyline which worked well for the simulation approach but had a few additional considerations I wasn't used to. 

However, this served its purpose in helping me familiarize myself with the software and I think it's neat to see the progression from the storyboard to the development.

The Storyboard Format

This project started when my company was transitioning from Adobe Captivate. I storyboarded this course before I knew what I would use to build it.

Previously, we had laid out visuals in PowerPoint to export to Captivate, or had done rapid prototyping directly in Captivate, so this was one of my first experiences building a storyboard for eLearning.

The storyboard template I used had text boxes placed around the PowerPoint slide content in the gray staging area to document project details. It was great to storyboard in but a noticeable downside is the inability to easily view this content outside of PowerPoint.

The Course Storyboard

Windows10Storyboard.pdf

This is the storyboard for two different lessons I created as part of a Windows 10 adoption project. (Although nowadays, I'd recommend WalkMe, Pendo, or other digital adoption software to achieve some of these goals.)

The content has learners using new features available in Windows 10 and locating existing features from previous versions in a simulated environment. The target audience is users who have not yet migrated to the new system.

Each slide shows the visual content that would be displayed, navigation, graphic info, and audio scripting. For applicable slides it also shows additional elements that would display during interactions.
