Storyboard

I prepared a project scoping plan, a wireframe, a screenplan and a storyboard, as well as a project report for the successful completion of my instructional design certificate program at DLI.

My goal was to plan an eLearning course specifically designed for professional English language teachers from various backgrounds seeking to transition into academic management roles. For the project, as an English language instructor with many years of experience, I wore the hat of an SME and decided on the content to be added to the course.

The main aim was to equip teachers with foundational knowledge and skills necessary for effective academic management and to contribute to their professional development.

In the analysis stage of the project, I focused on understanding the target audience, defining learning objectives, and outlining the course content. At this stage of the ADDIE model, I carefully aligned the course objectives with the audience’s needs and preferences.

After analysing WHO, I focused on the answer to WHY participants needed this course:

• Define the essential skills and characteristics of a good academic manager, gaining a clear understanding of the role’s expectations and responsibilities
• Identify common issues that arise in academic management and explore effective strategies to prevent unintended consequences when addressing problems
• Examine different types of observation and teaching assessment methods used in ELT management, understanding their purpose and application.

While mapping out the content, to avoid overwhelming participants with excessive input and causing cognitive overload, I broke down the modules into digestible chunks. I put them all together (WHO, WHY and WHAT) and brought out the project scoping plan at the end of this stage.
