Review of storyboard quick11/4/2023 ![]() Your reply is extremely helpful and you hit the nail on the head toward the end as I have run into dead ends by starting with a blank page (recently). If you are taking the training to the next level (for us it's a documentary style video with motion graphics), it's an excellent storyboard tool with a learning curve suitable for Corporate America, and in most cases, it's quality training if left at the storyboard level. In short, I agree, I especially like the limitations on the platform to focus efforts and facilitate decision making. So, leveraging the constraints of Rise with regards to format, colors, layout general style guide stuff, allows us to focus on the story, content and some well placed advanced media that enhances the "storyboard". Formatting becomes inconsistent in larger groups, and design choices are easy to ignore. Often the "blank canvas" approach of having control over everything slows the process down and muddies the presentation with a "fill the screen" mentality. However, we wouldn't have time for that if we were developing in the traditional tools (Storyline and Captivate) because they have too many options for the average ID. We sometimes toss in some live action character animation for the videos to give it a friendly face and to keep it entertaining as we cover dull content. These time savings by way of constraints gives you more time to focus on some higher level media like linear animation videos to support that content and provide the learners with some modality options in each module. If you take time to make a great storyboard this way with a real focus on the learner experience and the narrative you're using to educate them your "storyboard" is excellent training as is. In my world, a storyboard is a tool to visualize the narrative/storytelling we'll use to deliver the 3 E's. It's also a tool for transparency, as everyone can see and react to everyone else comments, in context. ![]() That workflow alone is worth the money in time savings and clarity. We've leveraged that notion to focus on quick development in Rise and then we use Review as a platform for quick SME interaction and approval. Together these two tools eliminate bottlenecks and death by committee style reviews. So to that end, it's a brilliant storyboard tool, and even better when combined with Articulate Review. In my experience, most of the training created by any company is a glorified storyboard with next and previous buttons. If you find it too much scroll down to the bold bits. This is a bit of a rant, but it will give you some context.
