In this project, you will create a simple storyboard for a short learning module. This exercise will help you practice organizing training content before development begins.

Storyboards help instructional designers visualize how a course will flow, what learners will see, and how information will be structured. By creating your own storyboard, you will understand how designers transform raw content into a clear learning experience.

Step 1: Choose a Training Topic

Select a simple topic that could be taught in a short lesson. Examples include:

Time Management Basics
Customer Service Best Practices
Workplace Safety Awareness
Effective Email Communication
Introduction to Cybersecurity

Your topic should be something that can be explained in 5–7 slides or screens.

Step 2: Identify the Learning Objective

Write one clear learning objective describing what learners should be able to do after the lesson.

Example:
"After completing this lesson, learners will be able to identify three techniques for managing workplace emails effectively."

Step 3: Outline Your Lesson Flow

Create a short sequence of screens such as:

Lesson introduction
Explanation of the topic
Example or scenario
Key concepts or tips
Short knowledge check
Summary or takeaway

This step helps structure the learner’s journey.

Step 4: Build the Storyboard

Create a simple storyboard showing:

Screen title
On-screen text or visuals
Narration or explanation
Interaction or activity (if any)

You may use any format such as:

Word or Google Docs
PowerPoint
Excel
A storyboard template

Step 5: Share Your Project

Upload your storyboard in the project gallery and include:

The training topic you selected
Your learning objective
A few storyboard slides or pages

You can upload a document, screenshots, or a PDF.

Final Tip

Remember that a storyboard does not need to be visually perfect. Its purpose is to clearly communicate the structure, flow, and learning experience before development begins.

I look forward to seeing how you structure your lesson ideas.
