Articulate Storyline

Simulated Lab

In my current role, we are phasing out live labs in many courses as we transition from Instructor-Led Training to on-demand eLearning. This example showcases one of the many simulated labs I have designed.

The challenge with simulated labs is striking the right balance—creating an interactive exercise that requires critical thinking and decision-making without overwhelming or frustrating the learner. Additionally, we must work within the constraints of Storyline’s capabilities. This example demonstrates my ability to navigate these limitations, ensuring the experience is both engaging and effective.

This is an interactive exercise. Follow the directions and if you get stuck, click on the question mark icon for a hint.

Animated Explanatory Video

An animated explanatory video that was used at the beginning of a lesson to give an overview of the journey of a log in the Exabeam product. 

Audience: Customers

Tool: Storyline

Gamification engages learners and can be used to reinforce learning. 

Cybersecurity Analyst Game

I used story elements to make the user the hero of this game. They get to practice their Security Analyst skills to try to stop a threat. 

My idea was to create refresher type games to use as quarterly challenges for our customers. Where they could practice skills they've learned in our courses in a fun scenario.

Tool: Storyline

Escape Room

This escape room was put together as an E-Learning Heroes challenge. I saw it as a fun opportunity to do a different sort of game and to play with the 360 degree feature in Storyline.

As you collect clues they will be added to the notes, so you can reference them later.

Articulate Rise

Articulate Rise Full Course

A DEI course about Pride Month and Queer Representation in Entertainment. I was tasked with turning a lunch and learn presentation recording into a full course that could be permanently available for staff. I broke the hour-long presentation into chunks and added supplemental information throughout as well as an intro and conclusion.

Audience: Internal to the Organization

Tool: Articulate Rise, Camtasia

Articulate Rise Microlearning

A Microlearning created for an E-Learning Heroes Challenge. I thought that at-home mixology was a fun subject for a micro-learning. I also saw it as an opportunity to play with Chat GPT to help me come up with the content.

Audience: General Public - Adults interested in at-home mixology

Tools: Articulate Rise Microlearning, Chat GPT
