CEPD · Module 1 — Production systems and SAM sprints

The slide type is a design decision

Production is not decorating a script. Choosing a format — quiz, drag, process, branch — is instructional design in the authoring tool.

What this lesson covers

  1. 01

    Studio’s library is a craft, not a buffet

    Innovito Studio ships 45+ slide types because different jobs need different practice. A production director who defaults every screen to “title plus bullets plus next” has chosen a format: passive reading. That choice has a learning-science cost (Mayer’s multimedia and coherence principles) and a business cost (time spent without practice).

  2. 02

    Same objective, two productions

    Default deck: Nine bullet screens, then a 10-item recall quiz. · Stock photo on every screen “for visual interest.” · One narrator reading the bullets (redundancy).

    Directed production: A process strip, one drag-to-order, one branch, then a gate. · One labeled graphic of the actual interface. · Voice only where the graphic must keep the eyes.
