Writing a script for an interactive, animated, training program.?

I am trying to write a script for an interactive, animated, staff training program for young adults, 17 鈥?25, for my thesis. I want my program to include information needed to be learned %26amp; games for the staff to play to reinforce the lessons. For example, the staff will first need to learn about the history of the company, the culture and the layout of the property (i.e. where they need to go in case of an emergency), then after listening to the animated clip they're asked to partake in a game of some sort like a treasure hunt. In the hunt they will need to know the layout of the property in order to know where to go (i.e., for a fire everyone goes to the parking lot).



I simply have no idea where to start or how to write it! I have read up on script writing but am unsure if that is where I should be looking鈥?Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do (or read, take a short class in, etc) for a project like this? Any helpful suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Look up "storyboarding". You need to write storyboards to explain what appears on each screen (artwork/animation, text, prompts) and any visible or invisible interactive spots/controls/interface elements. Each storyboard should indicate what happens next after any user action. Think of this as a detailed instruction manual for anyone who might actually build/program such a thing. Of course, it also has to end up being an instructionally sound product. I'll assume for now you know something about adult learning theory, principles of instructional systems design, and human factors/user interface design.
