The Process of Creating the Storyboard
I understand the reasons behind the storyboard. I spent an entire week watching videos and staring at templates of the process of creating a storyboard. It makes perfect sense...make an outline before jumping in to create the actual module. As they say, what works for most does not work for all! I am in that minority group where the storyboard is not only not helpful; it's discouraging and halting my progress! I lost an entire week as a result of trying to go through the process. It has left me with feelings of insecurity, questioning my own capabilities, and crushing my self esteem. That has not helped anyone and has left me feeling very low.
"E-learning storyboards have been a useful approach in distance learning development to support interaction between instructional designers and subject-matter experts" (Salim, 2012, p. 652). I understand the benefits of a storyboard...it's just not a benefit to me. In my current situation, I am the instructional designer and the subject-matter expert therefore I am conducting both roles. It has been extremely challenging for me.
I have competed a brief outline for myself as a starting point and have finally made some progress. I have started to create my module in Canvas and hopefully the process gets easier. This has really been a difficult process.
