It took us several rounds of discussions and review cycles just to nail down the course objectives and topics.
The content was for technicians and has a lot of technical detail. There are several subject matter experts (SMEs) as well. Whether it’s just one slide of audio or the entire course, script sign-off is a must.įor example, a client needed a course where I know very little about the topic. I also find them invaluable when there is narration in a course. So when is a storyboard useful?
