I taught English in Japanese public junior and senior high schools for three years, and my experiences in the classroom taught me this: word-for-word translation doesn’t work. The perfect example comes from one of the first lessons I led. The lesson about vocabulary associated with family: father, mother, sister, brother, etc. As I was “introducing” my family to a room full of 12-year-old students, I put a photo of my mother on the screen.

Just like a script for a movie, an e-learning storyboard is a document that outlines everything from on-screen text and graphics to the narration text and how the interactions will work. . Here at Artisan E-learning , we almost always use a written storyboard (which you can download here ), created in Microsoft Word.
