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.
