Topic 1--Lesson II--Values of using Storyboards as an Instructional Tool

From KNILT


Creating storyboards are inexpensive, user friendly, informal, and interactive. They also help the developer to assess the strength of a story while it is still in the planning stage because they are easy to create and easy to modify. We will learn more about this in Topics 2 and 3.

There are different types of Storyboards. These include:

  • Passive, Tell a story to the viewer, consists of pictures, and walks the user through, with a first this then this explanation.
  • Active, Try to make the viewer see the story even though it hasn't been made yet.
  • InteractiveLets the viewer experience the story in a realistic and practical way


The developer pieces together and edits the story, creating a story with three essential elements, the who, the what, and how.
