"Storyboard" in Lectora?
March 26, 2008 12:00 AM
I have designed, developed, and done both. The best most effective solution process I have seen is to first create a template page with background images, nav, etc. (My personal recommendation is to put your navigation at the top so you can make the page longer once in a while when you need to. The old days of fixed page size are gone. Most web savvy people know enough to scroll when needed.)Now, take a screen snapshot of a blank page in Lectora and make it the background in PowerPoint. Then develop the storyboard in PPT. Put notes in the Notes section or in special colored blocks on the screen. You can even transition them in so they don't show unless you click on somewhere special on the screen.When done, make a copy of the PPT. Delete all graphics and text blocks with notes. Use the Trivantis Integrator to convert to Lectora. This moves all the text over nicely and names the pages. I always use a 1024x768 output so that the Integrator does not try to make adjustments to position or font size.Then Read the graphics.If you tinker with a PPT version, you can get the page title and body text blocks in exactly the right places and not even have to move them once you have run the integrator.Edited By: Ben Pitman on 2008-3-26 7:37:44
