Why do I need a storyboard?

Using a storyboard helps you and potentially other team members communicate important information about the e-learning video before and during its creation. There is a strange phenomenon at play in the creation of a video. What you think about, dream about, talk about, and plan does not always translate to a viable e-learning project without committing it to some form of reality. The storyboard helps you do that. It forces you to formalize and commit to the plans you have already created in the project plan, outline, and script. It allows you to bring all those parts together before you begin recording and producing. You will be amazed at how the simple step of creating a storyboard helps you develop your ideas in some very important ways that aid in accomplishing your learning objectives. You will see your ideas finally take concrete shape in a form that you can change as needed before committing them to a video.
