Storyboarding to Success

Description

This 1-day, hands-on workshop was selected for two years in a row to be offered as a pre-conference workshop by WebCT at its annual International Users Conference. It will take you through the creation of two full storyboards. The first storyboard will be done in groups using the same syllabus and lesson plan. The afternoon storyboard will be developed by each attendee based on his/her own materials. If you don't know where to start, you can never go wrong with this workshop.
