Story Boards

What is a Storyboard?

As a seasoned instructional designer passionate about creating engaging, learner-centered content, I believe every great project starts with a clear plan. A storyboard is that blueprint. It’s a visual tool that helps me organize the flow and structure of a project before it even gets off the ground. Think of it as the backbone of a course, where I map out each step, interaction, and key concept to ensure the final product meets learning objectives and keeps the learner engaged.

Why Do I Use Storyboards?

In my experience, storyboards are essential for clear communication. They allow me to collaborate effectively with clients, developers, and content creators. Everyone sees the same vision, understands the goals, and can provide input before production begins.

A storyboard also saves time and money for organizations. By presenting the storyboard to stakeholders who approve the course design, content, and delivery method upfront, we ensure that the project is on the right track before significant resources are invested. Stakeholders get to see what the course will contain—everything from design elements to images—so they can approve, reject, or request edits before I begin building the course. This step minimizes costly changes later on and ensures the final product aligns perfectly with the organization’s goals.

Here in the Storyboard Menu, you can explore the intentional design behind the learning experiences I create. I create learner-centric courses, ensuring learners walk away with practical skills and a deep understanding of the material.
