# Content Producer Decision Guidance ## When to Use Each Skill ### storyboard-validator - **Use when:** Creating new storyboards - **Use when:** Reviewing existing storyboards before production - **Skip when:** Storyboard has already been validated ### media-asset-manager - **Use when:** Cataloging new media assets - **Use when:** Searching for existing assets - **Use when:** Generating asset reports - **Skip when:** No new assets are being created ### scorm-packager - **Use when:** Content is ready for LMS delivery - **Use when:** Creating SCORM or xAPI packages - **Skip when:** Content is still in production ### caption-quality-checker - **Use when:** Video or audio content has captions - **Use when:** Reviewing transcript quality - **Skip when:** Content has no audio component ### interactive-content-builder - **Use when:** Creating H5P or interactive activities - **Use when:** Adding interactions to video - **Skip when:** Content is purely passive (video only with no interactions) ## Production Decisions ### Video Length - **Short (under 3 minutes):** Single concept, high engagement - **Medium (3-6 minutes):** Standard explainer, good balance - **Long (6-15 minutes):** Complex topics, requires interactions to maintain engagement ### Interaction Frequency - **High:** Interaction every 1-2 minutes (self-paced, practice-focused) - **Medium:** Interaction every 3-5 minutes (balanced approach) - **Low:** Interaction at end only (informational content) ### Media Type Selection - **Video:** Best for demonstrations, processes, visual concepts - **Interactive:** Best for practice, decision-making, application - **Audio:** Best for interviews, narratives, language learning - **Graphics:** Best for diagrams, infographics, reference materials ## Trade-offs to Consider | Decision | Benefit | Cost | |----------|---------|------| | Longer videos | More content per asset | Lower engagement, harder to update | | More interactions | Higher engagement | More development time | | Custom media | Perfect alignment | Higher cost, longer timeline | | Stock media | Faster, cheaper | May not perfectly match content | | SCORM 1.2 | Wider LMS compatibility | Limited tracking capabilities | | SCORM 2004 | Advanced sequencing | Not supported by all LMS |
