Types of Lessons
There are five different types of lessons that can be written using the Storyboard tool:
- Simulation with Show Me Optional (Sim SBBuilder.tbk)
- Simulation in Demonstration Mode Only (Demo Sim SBBuilder.tbk)
- Simulation with All Three Modes (Sim1 SBBuilder.tbk)
- Content (Content SBBuilder.tbk)
- Quiz (Quiz SBBuilder.tbk)
Each of these is represented by a different empty Storyboard Builder file (tbk). Those files are showing in ( ) above.
Simulation with Show Me Optional
The Simulation with Show Me Optional lesson provides Practice and Assessment modes with a Demonstration Mode (Show Me) optional. The popup shown below provides the Writer with an outline of this type of lesson. Each lesson of this type will contain a Title, Score Page, and Popup Page as standard page types. Most lessons will also have the Task Outline page type. The remaining page types are inserted as needed to build the lesson.
The graphic below shows a typical outline along with a listing of the various Simulation Scenarios available. A later section will explain each Simulation Scenario.
Simulation with All Three Modes
The Simulation with All Three Modes is exactly the same as Simulation (With Show Me) except all three modes are available to the Learner from a Topic Mode Selection Page.
Simulation in Demonstration Mode Only
This lesson is very similar to the Simulation except it is for Demonstration Mode only. It contains only two standard page types: Title and Introduction Page. It also has an additional Scenario that is not found for Simulation lessons. Note that this does not have a Score Page since it is Demonstration Mode only.
The Content lesson can be used for basic instruction such as Introductory topics. It is the less interactive that the Simulation lesson. The graphic below shows the page types available for a Content lesson. A quiz section can be added for review of the content presented. This section can be scored if desired.
The Quiz lesson can be used as an Assessment at the end of the course if desired. It includes Multiple Choice, True/False, and Fill in the Blank question types and each question can include a graphic for needed.
