Turning your PowerPoint into eLearning: The easiest way to create a Storyboard

If you’ve ever thought,

“We’ve got a PowerPoint, but we don’t know how to turn it into online training…”

Good news: You’re already halfway there.

As an eLearning developer, my favourite kind of storyboard is a client-supplied PowerPoint. Why?

Because it makes the process simple, efficient, and gives me exactly what I need to help you bring your content to life.

 

What is a storyboard (and why does it matter)?

A storyboard is simply the plan for your eLearning. It helps us:

  • Break content into manageable screens
  • Identify key messages, and give us  ideas for visuals, and interactions
  • Build a learner-focused experience (not just a content dump)

 

But guess what? You probably already have a draft storyboard—it’s just hiding inside your PowerPoint.

 

Why I love working from PowerPoint

Here’s what a well-prepped PowerPoint gives me:

  1. A natural flow – your content is already broken into slides
  2.  Key talking points – I can see what you want to say
  3. A visual starting point – even if it’s rough, it helps
  4. Context – I understand your intent and tone

From there, I can suggest content additions, interactive elements, streamline text, and align everything with good learning design.

 

Want to turn your PowerPoint into eLearning?

Here’s how we can start:

  1. Send us what you have. PowerPoint, Word doc, even a scribbled outline—anything is a great starting point.
  2. We’ll review and map it out. We will break it into eLearning-friendly sections, suggest visuals/interactions, and ensure it meets learning goals.
  3. We collaborate. You stay in the loop throughout development and get a say in how things look, sound, and feel.

 

If you’re ready to chat about turning your internal training into something interactive and engaging, I’d love to hear from you.
