E-Learning samples
This first example uses Rise 360 and is a quick resume in a module. I created it for a class and decided it would be a great get-to-know me sample to include.

In this training sample, I was asked to use narration audio provided by HR to create an interactive Microaggressions training video. Using PowerPoint, I created smart art graphics to highlight key topics and elements, animated the graphic, and saved them as mp4 files. I used Wondershare Filmora to create other video aspects of the project. Basic module interactions were created using Captivate.

Most human resource management tools allow employees to complete a talent profile. The talent profile provides an opportunity for employees to showcase their skills, certifications, and in some cases, opportunity interests. The audience for the training featured here is all company employees with varying degrees of technological comfort. All employees are familiar with this HRM system.
This training is created in Articulate 360 using the microlearning feature. GIF images instead of videos provide a visual of each explained step. The repetitive nature of GIF images helps reinforce the process required to complete the talent profile. A one-page step-by-step guide was also included for download and is not shown in this video
One Page Help Document Examples
Click each tab to find out more.
It is important to have a request process for training and development. Business partners need to know what is expected from them and what to expect from the training department. Managers and SMEs being familiar with the process or having a document that outlines it prior to initial meetings are much easier to work with.

As many individuals transitioned from desktops to laptops and a docking station IT found that reminders were necessary for how to dock and undock computers. Users failed to use the release button to undock their laptops, resulting in broken equipment. This one-page help document was sent to all with docking stations and for posting at their desk as a little reminder.

I volunteered for an industry scholarship committee and found the selection process vague. After 18 years in the classroom, grading papers, judging contests, and working with subjective scoring, I needed a better guide for evaluating scholarship essays. To help the committee evaluate essays faster and with more consistency, I proposed a detailed rubric along with information promoting its use by others on the committee. It worked well for our purposes.

Communication Sample
This example is a learning and development marketing communication created using Adobe Express tools and designed to encourage using the organization’s talent profile tool in the HRIS. It can be used as a SharePoint posting, email communication flyer, or a printed flyer that is posted in common areas.
Planning Sample
Below is an initial development plan for a sales management program. In this example, the need for such a program is known, and this is the pre-planning I would conduct before the initial development discussion. While this is a program development example, this is my planning process for most projects. Once the request is submitted, I consider the challenges and information needs as well as conduct research on tools and information that may be beneficial for the project.

Alternative Presentation Tools
Comparing Process Models: Using SWAY
 Microsoft Sway has been around for several years now. It is an alternative presentation platform to PowerPoint or Prezi. Users have some control over customizability as there are standard Sway templates to choose from. It uses block tools for content creation and is a quick and efficient way to display information. Below is a presentation comparing instructional design process models ADDIE, SAM, and Pebble in the Pond. |

Timeline of Instructional Design: Using Sutori
During my first graduate class for instructional design and development, I discovered a presentation tool called Sutori. It is a tool best used for presenting sequential information. Sutori has different plans, free and paid. I used it here to present a timeline of instructional design. Check it out using this link to my Sutori timeline:
Other videos and Design Experiments
This is my Design Experiments playlist from YouTube. In the top right corner, you see a “hamburger menu” showing the number of videos in the playlist. Using this menu, you can access other videos in the playlist. This playlist includes experimentation with tools such as PowToon, Doodly, and Anireel by Wondershare. In some cases multiple tools were used and the video then finished using Wodershare’s Filmora.
