Reasons to use a storyboard:

- Designer can rearrange the content into an effective sequence.
- Can be given to a developer who will use it as a blueprint to a developer who will use it as a blueprint to develop the final product.

Storyboard Design Guidelines:
- Make sure the that the media used supports the LO's.
- Cognitive Load theory - for interactive media, try and minimise the text & images occuring at the same time.
- Make sure that quizzes & testing are aligned with LO's - ensure that they will provide valid evidence of understanding.
Tools to create a storyboard:
- Microsoft Word - widely available & understood software, not easy to rearrange content.
- PowerPoint (most popular) - widely known & understood, widely available, slide sorter view makes it easier to rearrange frames.
