Introduction
Storyboarding is a popular technique from the movie industry. I also can be used to create mockups for website that illustrate what users can do. In education, a storyboard can illustrate a learning scenario from a learner's perspective. Sometimes the word storyboard is used as a synonym for wireframes like web wireframes.
According to the NASA Usability toolkit, “Storyboards are sequences of images which demonstrate the relationship between individual events (e.g. screen outputs) and actions within a system. A typical storyboard will contain a number of images depicting features such as navigation menus, dialogue boxes and windows. The storyboard can be shown to the design team as well as typical users, allowing them to visualize the composition and scope of possible interfaces and offer critical feedback.”
According to usabilitynet, “A storyboard is a low fidelity prototype consisting of a series of screen sketches. They are used by designers to illustrate and organize their ideas and obtain feedback. They are particularly useful for multi-media presentations.”
