Flowcharting

Flowchart presents process, workflow and relationships

We introduce flowcharting in both LTMS 500 and LTMS 510, but you’ll be asked to apply some of those flowcharting techniques in this class

Why might flowcharts be important as part of eLearning development?Validation of designBrainstormingCommunicationFlowcharting is a part of the design process – planning for storyboarding.

http://www.hci.com.au/hcisite2/toolkit/flowchar.htm – Review resource. Show the example flowcharts – go through entire

Rounded box - use it to represent an event which occurs automatically. Such an event will trigger a subsequent action, for example `receive telephone call’, or describe a new state of affairs.

Rectangle or box - use it to represent an event which is controlled within the process. Typically this will be a step or action which is taken. In most flowcharts this will be the most frequently used symbol.

Diamond - use it to represent a decision point in the process. Typically, the statement in the symbol will require a `yes' or `no' response and branch to different parts of the flowchart accordingly.

Circle - use it to represent a point at which the flowchart connects with another process. The name or reference for the other process should appear within the symbol.

Tools: (Show examples of flowcharting tools)PPT (show symbols and flow charting in PPT)Word (show boxes and lines for flow charting in Word)Visio – should be able to access through Citrix (https://access.harrisburgu.net/) to demo if you don’t have a local install. http://www.gliffy.com/

May look similar to mind mapping, but difference is it’s relational and variable.

Flowcharting isn’t a part of your presentation assignment, your outline is really your flowchart for your presentation. But, it’s important to be aware of flowcharting as a design tool for interactive design where there is branching and learner options . And, you may want to consider flowcharting for your presentation.

Notes:

Storyboards

Note:

Storyboard / script

Like in the movies, before you turn the cameras on . . . You need a plan, a script.

The same is the case in learning technologies, especially asynchronous environments(explain asynchronous vs. synchronous if necessary)
