It’s my pleasure to create memorable learning solutions that empower people to connect their talents and abilities with the information and skills they need to become more valuable employees. I pair instructional design and training experience with relationship building and project management skills to craft training solutions with impacts like these: 100% adoption of compliant, online processes 6 weeks after virtual instructor-led training (VILT) and microlearning tools  13% increase in profitability after client training, benchmarking, and workflow analysis  10% fewer client intake errors after Plain Language microlearning 7% more volunteer retention after redesigned onboarding curriculum and processesHow? I apply Agile methodology to maintain project timelines, scopes and budgets, and the ADDIE model to inform the ID process.I embrace challenges with curiosity and tenacity; it’s fun to translate complex ideas into digestible, memorable learning experiences. To do so, I research materials and collaborate with stakeholders and subject matter experts, respecting their time and bandwidth.To ensure learning outcomes align with business goals, I perform a needs assessment and learner gap analysis, scrutinize the data, and probe to uncover root causes of performance issues. Based on the project’s complexity, learners’ needs, and company’s preferences, I produce a design document and gain agreement on the training solution, which may include: e-Learning  Instructor-led and Virtual Instructor-led training (ILT and VILT) Blended learning  Microlearning tools like job aides, infographics, videos, and gamesNext, I apply Adult Learning Theory and visual design principles and select the best authoring tool, like Articulate Storyline or Rise, to create engaging interactions, such as: Scenarios to help learners relate to content Accordions, branching, and tabs to promote engagement  Knowledge checks placed to track progress and stay aligned with objectives Measurable final assessments to demonstrate understanding  Level 3 on-the-job evaluations to ensure learning is applied  It’s all laid out in a storyboard which I share with SMEs. I guide them through feedback and incorporate necessary changes throughout development. The final product is delivered to your learning management system in compliance with SCORM, and I’m equally comfortable leading ILT/VILT train-the-trainer sessions or facilitating them myself. Ready to explore what I can create for you?
