Two things always stand out during these trips: There is no one way to do elearning. Some people build courses, some create marketing material, and some use the rapid elearning software to create multimedia information.

PowerPoint’s designed as a presentation tool. While the application is versatile and great for elearning, many people still struggle to get past the PowerPoint look because the features are designed to encourage the use of the templates. But when you want to build “regular” elearning, then you use something else.

Storyboarding an elearning project comes in many forms and processes and is ultimately dictated by the project itself. Visually representing how an elearning project will flow and behave is difficult to convey in a storyboard written in MS Word or PowerPoint. Consider the image below. That’s a lot of moving parts!

A lot of rapid elearning content finds its roots in repurposed classroom slides. A great way to get out of the PowerPoint look is to create screens that hold content in different ways. And many elearning courses use characters in front of projection screens. Here are a few simple projection screen images that I created.
