Designing the Blended Learning Landscape
| 8:00am - 9:45am Developing Effective Detailed Design Documents and WBT/CBT Storyboards Writing a detailed design document is both art and science. It is science because there is a process and steps to follow. It is art because each project does not easily fit into a cookie-cutter mold. An effective detailed design begins with a basic outline; then, the expertise of the designer, parameters of the project team and needs of the client are incorporated to shape the final product. Effective storyboards are created using a few key principles, once a detailed design document is completed. The detailed design is your roadmap for developing the storyboards; the storyboards then fill the features into that roadmap. After years of experience, we have found a handful of key principles that lead to faster client approval and fewer edits during the design and development process. In this session you’ll receive the key principles, sample WBT/CBT detailed design documents, sample storyboard documents, and practice writing these yourself! Jane Klein The GMarie Group |
