Developing a Storyboarding Process for Online Content: From Microsoft PowerPoint to Macromedia Flash

摘要

The development of a Statistics 221 course at Brigham Young University required that a large number of multimedia objects (>800) be created in a relatively short period of time (<8 months) by over 20 employees, most of whom were students with varying schedules and abilities. As a means of providing a standard communication device in the development of the course, a storyboard was created in Microsoft PowerPoint. The effectiveness of the storyboard design was then evaluated by surveying all project participants. The results of the evaluation were used in redesigning the storyboard for use in the development of additional online courses.
