&#= 8211;Send that off to the programmer so he could get a “jump on t= he project”

&#= 8211;He would record the audio as part of his process so that we could make sure that it sounded right the way it was written

&#= 8226;Hand draw graphics for the graphic artist

–We would proof the graphics as available and se= nd to the programmer

&= #8211;Programmer would add the graphics

R= 26;The structure of the program, while roughly known, would take shape= as it was being programmed

&#= 8226;First draft of the program reviewed

What good is a Storyboard?

&#= 8226;Many options

&#= 8226;Might not even be necessary

&#= 8226;But…consider the benefits

–With a storyboard, proofing can be done right in the storyboard so that when it goes into ToolBook you don’= t need to proof things like the text, graphics, content, etc.

&#= 8226;You can get additional benefits such as spell/grammar checking

&= #8226;SME-friendly and PPT has the added benefit of WYSIWYG

–Even if you are a one-man show, a storyboard wi= ll help separate the content development from the programming development and will provide you with a development document = ;

&#= 8226;Your existing ToolBook could even be a storyboard!

So, what exactly is “doing it r= ight the first time?”

•Making conscious decisions in development

–Adding backgrounds

–Using rich text

–Text in graphics vs in ToolBook

•Book and course structure

–Plan it out in advance and coordinate it with the naming scheme

•Have an intentional and well thought out naming sc= heme AND use it (for everything)
–Book names, page names, graphic names, audio names, other media names

–Be able to identify at a single glance, both within ToolBook and externally exactly what the resources are and wher= e they belong

•Segregate development into individual chunks <= /span>

–Write content, create graphics, create media, program, proof <= /span>and be done with it AT EACH STEP in the process= 3;

•Use logs when necessary

–To keep track of development activities, proofing, and post production

–But, wherever possible, create a self-documenting system and/or use automation for tracking

Session Agenda

Disciplined Development

File Organization

Standardization

Doing it Right the First Time

3

File Organizatio= n/Naming Scheme

4

File organizatio= n

Keep all ToolBook related files in one central location

Working programs

Packaged/exported programs

Common documents and resources (ie script database)

Have a structured and disciplined back-up system

Use the back-up feature in ToolBook

Everyone backs up to the same place, but on a different drive

Perform weekly backups – more if there is a lot of activity = that needs to be archived

Swap out drives every week and take the swapped out drive off-site until the next week

Make CDs of ToolBook files and put them in a safe location

5

Example File Organization

ToolBook “Server”

Working courses

32a (back-ups, docs, pre-load audio, source audio, source graphics, storyboards, toolbooks)

Toolbooks (audio, graphics, toolbooks themselves)

38a

38s

39a…

Post development

Exported programs (dhtml files, axf files, toolbook files)

Installations (InstallShield files, Packaged/Ready to Burn Program= s)

Runtime programs (Current runtime versions of all courses)

Common files (audios, graphics, etc that are used in all programs)<= /li>
Developer’s tools (common catalog, script database, internally developed DevEx Tools, shared actions, batch scripts for audio and graphics, templates, utilities)

Documentation (how to’s)

Test toolbooks

Translations

The importance o= f naming things

What exactly needs to be named meaningfully?

Books

Media

Graphics

Pages

Objects

What exactly is a “naming scheme?”

7

Naming Schemes

Naming scheme ties all components together

ToolBook files, ToolBook pages

Audios

Graphics

ToolBook folders

Even all of our in-house documentation and other aspects of our business such as our website

This naming scheme has substantially improved the quality of my life= !!!

“It’s midnight…do you know where your graphics are?”

The naming scheme has opened the door for significant automation

Put the graphic on the page of the same name

Play the audio that is the same name as the page

If I find an errant audio or graphic file, I always know right where= it goes

Disciplined Deve= lopment

10

When does devel= opment begin?

When the storyboard is done!

If you develop on the fly or while the storyboard is developing you= are opening yourself up to all kinds of problems unless you are really = really disciplined

11

Old process=

Develop a storyboard in Word

Send that off to the programmer so he could get a “jump on the project”

He would record the audio as part of his process so that we could m= ake sure that it sounded right the way it was written

Hand draw graphics for the graphic artist

We would proof the graphics as available and send to the programmer=

Programmer would add the graphics

The structure of the program, while roughly known, would take shape = as it was being programmed

First draft of the program reviewed

Corrections made to graphics, audio, text, navigation

Pages added, deleted, and moved

12

Major problems<= /a>

This approach made having a meaningful naming scheme impossible

Names were constantly changing

Much time was being wasted doing non-value-adding activities

Hand-drawing graphics

Recording the audio just for proofing

Programming and then changing the programming

There was no one “source” document

13

What good is a Storyboard?

Many options

Might not even be necessary

But…consider the benefits

With a storyboard, proofing can be done right in the storyboard so = that when it goes into ToolBook you don’t need to proof things like the text, graphics, content, etc.

You can get additional benefits such as spell/grammar checking

SME-friendly and PPT has the added benefit of WYSIWYG

Even if you are a one-man show, a storyboard will help separate the content development from the programming development and will provi= de you with a development document

Your existing ToolBook could even be a storyboard!

See an example storyboard

14

Proofing and Fr= eezing

“Our SMEs don’t get serious about proofing until we are ready to release the program to our customer.”

15

Frequent and Disciplined Proofing

The key is to catch mistakes as close to when they have been made as= is possible

Proof Early and Proof Often

Proof items independent of each other whenever possible so you can f= ocus on one thing at a time

Set up your system so that once you proof, you don’t have to proof again – check off that box!

Proof Outside of ToolBook whenever possible

Proof audio against the script

Proof graphics before putting them into TB

Windows XP Graphics Previewer in the slideshow mode

Proof text in your storyboard

16

Frequent and Disciplined Proofing (more…)

To proof questions, use the Question Summary

But also do a live test of the questions!

If necessary, use a log to track the proofing process

Make it easy for your customers to provide feedback on problems

Add secret page code that you can show them how to use if necessary=

Another benefit of a naming scheme!

Example Logs

Graphics Log

Log for Updating Books

Post Publishing Change Log

Correction Log

TBK Export Records

17

Navigation Deve= lopment

This applies to navigation other than standard forward, backward navigation

Skip navigation pages

Special menus

Always save navigation for the end of a project

Special navigation will get in the way of proofing other aspects of= the program

But…don’t forget to proof the navigation!!!

Because of the compartmentalized proofing, however, when you proof = the navigation, you can focus completely on the navigation and nothing = else J

18

Working on a development team

The optimal size of a team is 1!&nb= sp; -Jeff Rhodes

Adds a new level of complexity

Everyone has to buy into and adhere to the same rules

Doing things the same way

There need to be checks in place to make sure that everyone is following the “rules” so that if they aren’t, it = is detected early on

Who is doing what

One “official” set of files

Work from that set of files if at all possible (over the network so that others are “locked out”)

If it is not possible to work from the one set of files, you need a sign-in/sign-out process (i.e. Source Safe from Microsoft)

Frequent (possibly daily depending on the intensity of the project) short, but focused meetings

How are we doing against the schedule?

Who is doing what?

What problems have been encountered?

What have we learned that others should know?

19

Doing it Right = the First Time

20

Mistake-Proofin= g

Making it impossible to make mistakes

It is much harder to catch a mistake than it is to prevent a mistake= in the first place

The number of bugs in software is n + 1 where n is the known number= of bugs –Bill Gates

The effectiveness of inspection (QA)

Mistake-Proofing is about:

Making it impossible to do it wrong

Making it easy to do it right

If you can’t make it impossib

If necessary, use a log to track the proofing process Make it easy for your customers to provide feedback on problems Add secret page code that you can show them how to use if necessary= Another benefit of a naming scheme! Example Logs Graphics Log Log for Updating Books Post Publishing Change Log Correction Log TBK Export Records

Who is doing what? What problems have been encountered? What have we learned that others should know?
19	Doing it Right = the First Time
20	Mistake-Proofin= g Making it impossible to make mistakes It is much harder to catch a mistake than it is to prevent a mistake= in the first place The number of bugs in software is n + 1 where n is the known number= of bugs –Bill Gates The effectiveness of inspection (QA) Mistake-Proofing is about: Making it impossible to do it wrong Making it easy to do it right If you can’t make it impossib
