IN SHORT

Improve the explanation's sequence

Reordering slides moves frames within one narrated lesson, for example placing a worked example right before the practice prompt instead of after the answer. Instructional designers use it when learner feedback shows an explanation runs in an unhelpful order. Elvina rechecks transitions, timing, captions and phrases that point back to an earlier slide, and each save becomes a version you can restore. Reordering and editing slides by hand, plus narrated video lessons, are available now. Whether example-first suits your learners stays your call.

  1. Book 30 minutes. Pick a time with Elvina's team. The demo is free and runs on Zoom.
  2. Show the team your goal. Bring one role or one procedure. The team shows how Elvina would handle it, using sample materials.
  3. Agree on the next step. You leave with a plan for the first step and its price. Nothing reaches your team until you approve it.
01

Who this is for, and when

An instructional designer at a community college workforce program is polishing a lesson on reading a pay stub. The narrated deck shows the answer, then the worked example, then the practice prompt. Students told her they wanted to see the example before trying it themselves. She needs the slides moved and the narration to still make sense.

02

How it works in Elvina

The worked example moves immediately before the practice prompt instead of after the answer.

  • The designer opens the lesson in Creation Studio and drags the worked example slide to sit directly before the practice prompt.
  • Elvina rechecks transitions, timing, subtitles and phrases like 'on the previous slide' against the new order.
  • She reviews the three flagged phrases and edits the one that now points to the wrong slide.
  • She plays the lesson end to end and saves the revised storyboard as a new version.
03

A worked example

A fictional program, Lakeshore Community College Workforce Institute, runs a 14-slide lesson called Reading Your Pay Stub for 60 adult learners. Slide 9 shows the answer, slide 10 the worked example, slide 11 the practice prompt. The narration was recorded from a reviewed script.

  • The worked example became slide 9 and the practice prompt slide 10, with the answer slide moved after the prompt.
  • Elvina flagged the phrase 'now that you have seen the answer' in the narration, which the designer rewrote.
  • Subtitle timing was regenerated for the three affected slides, and the total duration stayed within a minute of the original.
04

What to check before relying on it

Review transitions, timing, subtitles and references such as 'on the previous slide'.

  • Every slide transition plays in the new order without a gap or duplicate.
  • Narration and subtitles for moved slides match what is on screen.
  • No spoken or written phrase refers to a slide that now comes later.
  • The lesson's total runtime and quiz placement still fit the assignment settings.
05

Where a person stays in charge

Elvina moves slides and checks references; it does not decide whether example-first is the right approach for your learners. Narration that was recorded as one continuous take may need re-recording rather than re-cutting. The designer listens to the whole lesson before it is published, because a flagged phrase is only as good as the fix applied to it.

WHO IT IS NOT FOR

Who this is not for, and when another tool fits

This is not the right fit if

  • The narration is one continuous take and nobody can record it again.
  • You want Elvina to choose the teaching approach for your learners.
  • You need slides moved between different lessons rather than within one.

Another kind of tool may fit better

  • Your current authoring tool, if one designer already builds every course by hand and the team is happy with it.
  • A shared drive, when people only need to find a file rather than learn a task.
