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.
