How to develop storyboards
To develop your own storyboard, follow the steps below. They can be customised to suit you and your development team.
- Talk to all of your team members to find out if there's a preferred storyboard style already in place.
- Develop a header which identifies your project. If multiple learning resources are to be developed, you should devise a method of distinguishing them via a numbering system or a regime of headings. Remember to also apply a page numbering system to this.
- Determine the personnel, roles and responsibilities on your team.
- Allocate a code for providing instruction for each team member in your storyboard. This could be colour, codes, initial etc.
- Decide how this information will be presented - table, series of flowcharts, thumbnail sketches, wireframes.
- Trial the storyboard on one small learning sequence to make sure you are comfortable with it and all team members are clear on what is required.
- Make necessary changes to the storyboard as a result of trial.
- Get started! And remember a strategy for version control so that all team members are working on the right version of the storyboard.
