Instructional Design Approach

Project Overview 

This module was designed to help teachers recognize and manage stress through reflective and scenario based learning. 

Goal

Help teachers identify stress triggers and apply practical strategies in their daily work environment. 

Problem/Need

Teachers often experience burnout and lack structured tools to manage stress effectively. This created a need for a practical, reflective learning experience. 

Design Decisions

I used scenario based learning to make the content relatable and interactive. Reflection activities were included to promote self-awareness, and a personalized plan builder was added to help learners apply strategies directly.

The content was structured in clear steps to avoid overwhelming the learner. 

Outcome

This module supports teachers in identifying stress triggers and building a personalized plan, making the learning both meaningful and applicable. 

Instructional Design Approach

Project Overview 

This project is an interactive eLearning module designed to help new employees understand and navigate their workplace benefits. The module was created using Articulate 360 and focuses on simplifying complex information through clear structure and engaging interactions.

Goal 

The goal of this module was to help employees understand their available benefits and feel confident making informed decisions during onboarding. 

Problem/Need

Employee benefits information is often overwhelming and difficult to understand, especially for new hires. Many onboarding experiences present this information in a passive format, leading to confusion and low engagement.

This created a need for an interactive, learner friendly module that breaks down key information in a clear and accessible way. 

Design Decisions

I intentionally designed this module using Articulate 360 to create an interactive and self-paced learning experience.
Content was broken into manageable sections to reduce cognitive overload and improve comprehension.

I incorporated:

• interactive elements to keep learners engaged

• clear navigation to support user control

• concise content to make complex information easier to understand

These decisions were made to ensure learners could move through the content confidently while retaining key information.

Outcome

This module provides employees with a structured and engaging way to understand their benefits, supporting both clarity and confidence during onboarding.

The design focuses on usability and learner engagement, making the experience more effective than traditional information heavy formats.

Project Overview 

This project is an interactive onboarding module designed to guide new employees through their first 30 days in a new role. Created using Articulate 360, the module focuses on providing clear expectations, structured guidance, and a supportive learning experience during the onboarding process. 

Goal 

The goal of this module was to help new employees feel confident, prepared, and supported during their first 30 days by clearly outlining expectations, key tasks, and milestones. 

Problem/Need

New employees often feel overwhelmed and uncertain during their first few weeks, especially when onboarding lack's clear structure or guidance.

This creates a need for a structured, engaging onboarding experience that helps employees understand their role, expectations, and next steps.

Design Decisions

I intentionally designed this module using Articulate 360 to create a structured, self paced onboarding experience that supports clarity and confidence.

I incorporated:

• step by step guidance to break down the first 30 days into manageable phases

• clear expectations to reduce uncertainty and improve employee confidence

• interactive elements to keep learners engaged throughout the onboarding process

The content was organized in a way that mirrors the employee journey, making it easier for learners to follow and apply information in real time.

Outcome

This module provides new employees with a clear and supportive onboarding experience, helping them navigate their first 30 days with confidence.

The design promotes engagement, reduces overwhelm, and improves overall understanding of role expectations and workplace processes. 

Instructional Design Approach

Project Overview 

This project was developed to support a live film workshop led by Joni Elaine, CEO of NoPopularFruit. The workshop guide provided participants with a structured and engaging experience to help them navigate activities, generate film ideas, and participate confidently in a creative, faith-based environment. 

Goal 

The goal of this workshop guide was to help aspiring filmmakers explore their creativity, develop initial film concepts, and feel supported in expressing their ideas through guided activities and reflection. 

Problem/Need

Many new or aspiring filmmakers struggle with where to begin when developing ideas, often feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to structure their creative process. Traditional workshops may lack clear guidance or engaging materials, creating a need for a visually structured, interactive guide that supports both creativity and direction. 

Design Decisions

• Designed a clear, step by step structure to guide participants through the workshop

• Incorporated creative prompts to encourage idea generation and reflection

• Used visual design elements to maintain engagement and support understanding

• Structured content to feel approachable and beginner friendly

• Balanced creative freedom with guided direction to reduce overwhelm

Outcome

The final workshop guide provided participants with a clear and engaging structure, helping them feel more confident in brainstorming ideas, expressing creativity, and actively participating in the film workshop. The design supported both clarity and engagement, creating a more meaningful and interactive learning experience.
