Script Creation

The first step in producing your instructional ma-

terials is creating the audio scripts for the indi-

vidual sections. The audio will guide the learner 

through the information in each section of your 

tutorial, so the script should be crafted with your 

instructional goals and objectives in mind. 

Create  scripts  for  each  section  of  the  tutorial 

outline  that  you  developed  in  the  instructional 

planning  stage.  Include  staging  notes  in  your 

script  that  describe  what  the  learner  might  be 

seeing while the script is being played. This will 

assist  you  when  you  create  the  visual  materi-

als. In addition, the types of visual cues that you 

plan to offer your learners may alter the script 

considerably.

Once  you  have  created  your  scripts,  proceed 

to  the  visual  media  creation  step.  DO  NOT 

RECORD your scripts before you have created 

your visual media. You will likely discover new 

and creative ways of presenting the information 

throughout  the  visual  media  creation  process, 

which can result in significant script revision.
