  2. STRESS MANAGEMENT
  3. BASICS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING

Pre-work:

  1. Read the topics carefully and select one topic of your choice.
  2. Again read the contents of the selected topic try to understand and assimilate the content.
  3. Structure the content and create content outline (Headings, Sub-headings etc.)
  4. Think of some instructional strategies that you will use like the opening sequence, examples, activities, pictures and graphics, animation, practice exercises etc.
  5. Plan your storyboard, an example is given here:

Screen No. / Screen Type

2 / Introduction / Overview
3 / Objectives
4 / Learning Objective -1 Teaching Screen
5 / Teaching Screen
6 / Practice exercise 1
7 / Learning Objective -2 Teaching Screen
8 / Teaching Screen
9 / Practice exercise 2
10 / Learning Objective -3 Teaching Screen
11 / Teaching Screen
12 / Practice exercise 3
13 / Final Assessment

Writing the storyboard / script:

The Storyboard/Scripting involves writing the actual content. You may refer to books or web sites to get more information or interesting facts about the content. Use the principles and theories discussed in the CCID course and be creative. Refer to the sample storyboard/script provided in the CCCID course if required.

  1. Start with a screen that gains attention to motivate learners.
  2. Present a brief overview of the topic.
  3. Present objectives. Write the objectives based on Bloom’s Taxonomy.
  4. Present the content:
  • in an interesting manner
  • keep the learner involved
  • it should be concise, focused and logical
  • questions should be thought provoking
  1. Include meaningful examples, analogies and scenarios if possible
  2. Describe the graphic/pictures/illustrations/animation that should accompany the text and be present on the screens.
  3. Describe interactions like click interactions, drag and drop, roll-over text (text that appears when users place their mouse cursor on any picture or text), etc.
  4. Design test items based in the objectives, provide feedback.
  5. Include summary
  6. Include a mastery test in the end.
  7. Write supporting content like Glossary, Help, Online References, etc.

Post-work:

Once you have completed the storyboard, do a self check. You may check for the following things:

  1. The content is accurate
  2. Content is spell checked
