Storyboarding is a great way of trying out scenarios, making sure you've got the right mix of characters, and quickly running through dialogue that matches. One of most common problems with eLearning courses is the “next button problem”, where linear navigation leads the learner rather passively from one screen... to another… to another. Storyboarding a case or simulation can help you create the layout for meaningful interactions: simulations showing consequences of the learner’s decisions can make for powerful learning experiences.
