                                        In this week's podcast episode, you'll learn about what flowcharts are and why they are important in eLearning for instructional design.

                                        Together, flowcharts and storyboards are highly useful tools for visually conveying information about your "design" to developers, graphic artists, and subject matter experts (SMEs).

                                        The more time you spend elaborating on details of script, graphics, and functionality in your flowcharts and storyboards now, the more time you will save in the development of your instruction.
