Tasks and Duties
Objective
Your task for this week is to develop a comprehensive planning document for a beginner-level interactive course using Storyline 360. This document will serve as a blueprint for the course design. The primary objective is to define clear learning outcomes, pinpoint the target audience, and craft an engaging course structure that leverages Storyline 360 interactivity features.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file containing your detailed planning document.
- Overview of course goals, learning objectives, and competencies.
- A detailed outline and storyboard framework for the course modules.
Key Steps
- Research and Analysis: Start by researching current trends in EdTech and Storyline 360 course design for junior developers. Identify best practices and innovative strategies.
- Define Learning Objectives: Clearly state 3-5 measurable learning outcomes that align with the intended audience and course content.
- Develop a Course Structure: Outline a modular course structure including an introduction, content units, interactive segments, assessments, and conclusion.
- Create a Storyboard Framework: Draft a high-level storyboard that maps out the flow of the course, emphasizing interactivity and points for learner engagement.
- Document Presentation: Organize your findings, strategy, and roadmap in a well-structured DOC file.
Evaluation Criteria
- Clarity and coherence of the overall course strategy.
- Depth of research and integration of Storyline 360 interactive principles.
- Creativity in course structure and storyboard design.
- Document organization, formatting, and completeness.
This task is expected to take approximately 30 to 35 hours. Make sure your DOC file demonstrates critical thinking and a clear vision for a successful interactive course. The document should be self-contained and not depend on external resources apart from publicly available information.
Objective
In this task, you are required to create a detailed interactive storyboard and course script for one complete module intended for a junior Storyline 360 course. The goal is to develop a document that maps out a detailed narrative, specifying where interactive elements such as quizzes, drag-and-drop activities, and branching scenarios will be implemented to enhance learning.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file containing a complete interactive storyboard for a single course module.
- A comprehensive script narrating the instructional content and transitions between interactive elements.
- Annotations explaining the purpose and expected learning outcomes of each interactive component.
Key Steps
- Content Analysis: Identify key concepts that will be covered in the module and determine the best interactive methods to deliver this content.
- Storyboard Development: Draft a detailed storyboard that illustrates each screen of the module, highlights interactions, and provides sequencing for content delivery.
- Script Writing: Write a complete script that narrates the content of each screen, explaining interactions and providing instructional guidance.
- Integration Details: Clearly mark points of interactivity and explain expected learner engagement and outcomes.
Evaluation Criteria
- Depth and detail of the storyboard and narrative script.
- Ability to integrate interactive elements meaningfully.
- Clarity of instructional content and visual representation.
- Overall document organization and adherence to the task objective.
This task is designed to approximate 30 to 35 hours of work. Please ensure your DOC file submission is comprehensive, self-contained, and clearly demonstrates your understanding of interactive course design using Storyline 360.
Objective
This week, your assignment is to design a multimedia integration plan that supports a virtual interactive course developed using Storyline 360. Your focus should be on selecting, designing, and integrating various multimedia elements such as videos, audio clips, graphics, and animations to enhance the learning experience.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file detailing your multimedia strategy and design plan.
- A clear list of multimedia assets to be used and their intended roles within the course.
- Explanation of integration techniques and how they correlate with learning objectives.
- An annotated plan describing at which points multimedia elements will be deployed and why.
Key Steps
- Multimedia Research: Identify and research multimedia elements that are effective in enhancing digital learning experiences. Rely on publicly available resources for ideas and examples.
- Asset Planning: Create a catalog of potential multimedia assets (images, video, audio, animations) suitable for your course module.
- Integration Blueprint: Develop a strategy that details when and how each asset will be used, including transitions and interactive triggers.
- Documentation: Write a comprehensive DOC file that ties your multimedia plan to the course’s learning objectives and interactive elements drawn from Storyline 360 modules.
Evaluation Criteria
- Relevance and appropriateness of selected multimedia assets.
- Detail and clarity in the integration plan.
- Creativity in applying multimedia within an educational context.
- Quality of explanation regarding the technical execution and expected learner impact.
Expect to invest 30 to 35 hours on this task. Ensure your work is self-contained, easily understandable, and designed to serve as a future reference blueprint for course multimedia integration in interactive learning environments.
Objective
This final weekly task involves designing a comprehensive evaluation and testing plan for an interactive course module built using Storyline 360. Your goal is to establish a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the course, gathering learner feedback, and iterating on course design to enhance the interactive learning experience.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file outlining your evaluation and testing strategy.
- A detailed plan for pre-launch testing, including sample evaluation forms and feedback mechanisms.
- An analysis framework for both quantitative and qualitative assessment of learner outcomes.
- A roadmap for iterative improvements based on test results and feedback.
Key Steps
- Identify Evaluation Metrics: Develop a list of performance indicators that measure both engagement and educational outcomes. Consider interactive engagement metrics, quiz scores, and qualitative feedback.
- Create Testing Scenarios: Design testing protocols that include a variety of learner profiles to simulate real-world usage. Draft sample evaluation forms and feedback surveys.
- Plan for Iteration: Outline a clear iterative process where design refinements are made based on test results and collected feedback. Document specific areas where iterations are likely needed.
- Draft the Final Document: Present your complete evaluation framework in a well-organized DOC file. Include a discussion on potential challenges and proposed solutions during the iteration process.
Evaluation Criteria
- Thoroughness in identifying and defining performance evaluation metrics.
- Practicality and creativity in designing testing protocols.
- Quality and depth of the iterative improvement strategy.
- Overall clarity, organization, and self-contained nature of the documentation.
This task is expected to require 30 to 35 hours of dedicated work. Your DOC file should provide a clear, actionable plan for not only testing but also iteratively refining a Storyline 360 interactive course. Ensure that the plan is detailed and self-contained to stand as a reference for future course development evaluations.
