This paper is focused on the presentation of storyboard and storytelling open-source online tools, for its application in the university context and in the education research projects. The main aim of this paper is to provide an open source tool to support (i) university teachers, using storyboard tools as a novel educational resource to include in their master and practice classes, allowing them to structure concepts or explain methodologies through images that have attached short descriptions; (ii) university students, as future industrial engineers, employing storyboard tools for structuring the decision-making process, by taking into account all the actors that are affected in the decision process; (iii) education research projects, adopting storyboard as a tool to aid the creative writing through matching creative images with keywords to capture the essence of the research project.
