What is an outline?
In the case of an instructional video, the outline is the same as a learning plan or a classroom course outline. The purpose is to plan the topics to be covered in the proper sequence. As in any creative process, outlining your project before starting is an important step. It helps you organize your thoughts, always with the needs of the learner in mind. If something is important for the learner to know, it should be included in the proper sequence to avoid confusion or mistakes. If it is determined as not important, it should be left out or covered in another project.
For this section, we will consider the details of the outlining process in Chapter 2, Planning the Project, and the sample outline included in Appendix. A sample project is also included with this book. The subject of our sample project is Using CuePrompter.
