Introduction to Logging & ELK Stack — ILT Storyboard
Project Overview
The storyboard is designed to support spoken-first instruction, ensuring that visuals, narration, and examples work together during facilitation.
Designing the Storyboard
The storyboard is designed to support spoken-first instruction, ensuring that visuals, narration, and examples work together during facilitation.
Each slide is paired with detailed notes outlining objectives, talking points, visual cues, timing guidance, and engagement prompts to reduce facilitator cognitive load and ensure consistent delivery.
Client Context
The client needs a delivery-ready ILT asset to introduce logging fundamentals and the ELK Stack to technical learners. Sessions are delivered live and require clarity, pacing control, and opportunities for discussion.
There is a need for facilitator guidance that ensures key concepts are explained consistently while allowing flexibility for examples and learner questions.
What this storyboard is (and isn’t)
It is an ILT instructional storyboard with facilitation notes, not a slide-only presentation.
It supports live delivery through structured narration and timing cues.
It embeds engagement prompts to encourage learner interaction.
- It is not a self-paced eLearning module or technical deep-dive.
Design Approach
The storyboard follows a concept → benefit → example → reflection flow. Notes define learning objectives, key talking points, and transitions to maintain instructional coherence across the session.
Visual cues are intentionally referenced in the notes to help facilitators align explanations with on-screen elements, while timing guidance ensures balanced coverage without overload.
Key Components
-
Slide-by-slide instructional flow
-
Facilitator notes with objectives and talking points
-
Visual cue guidance linked to on-screen elements
-
Engagement prompts to support discussion
-
Timing and transition guidance for live delivery
Role & Contribution
I designed the complete ILT storyboard, including slide structure, instructional sequencing, and facilitation notes.
This included defining objectives per section, shaping spoken-first narration, embedding engagement questions, and ensuring alignment between visuals and instructional intent.
Outcome
The storyboard supports consistent, confident facilitation of an introductory ELK Stack session.
It reduces facilitator preparation time, improves delivery clarity, and ensures learners engage with both conceptual understanding and practical relevance.
Reflection
This work demonstrates the value of designing for facilitation, not just content. Clear notes, pacing guidance, and engagement prompts help transform slides into an effective live learning experience.
