A flagship interactive module designed for a comprehensive new employee onboarding curriculum, engineered to shift instructional practices from worksheet reliance to standards-aligned, play-based learning.
As an external learning consultant contracted to design an entirely new employee onboarding curriculum, the immediate priority was addressing critical performance gaps among teaching staff, including:
The organization required a modern subcourse that could serve as a scalability benchmark for the broader curriculum rollout.
Developed a one-hour scenario-based eLearning course, Play-Based Instruction for Preschool Teachers, featuring:
Approved as a core module within the new onboarding curriculum rollout for approximately 20 educators, targeting corporate-aligned metrics:
Early stakeholder feedback confirms this framework sets a high strategic standard for the rest of the onboarding curriculum.
Click the arrows to view project layouts, visual guides, and interactive dashboard mockups.
Conducted a thorough Needs Analysis and Root Cause Analysis alongside the preschool director. Identified that teachers didn't need entirely new lesson plans, but a practical method to transform current worksheet-heavy assignments into standards-compliant, play-based activities.
Mapped explicit learning objectives and script flows before generating a targeted, development-focused storyboard and Instructional Design Document (IDD) to structure the classroom transformations.
Built completely within Articulate Storyline, leveraging 7 distinct interactions and custom variables. Integrated tailored multimedia scenario video assets using We Are Learning, custom visual elements created via Canva, and an accompanying performance workflow job aid. Engineered to support rigorous digital accessibility guidelines including text contrast, keyboard utility, and screen readability.
Conducted extensive usability trials and collaborative evaluation checkpoints with an internal stakeholder cohort. Leveraged target user telemetry to recalibrate navigation layout complexity, enhance screen reader alt text scripting accuracy, and iron out custom structural variable behavior.
Executed extensive, iterative usability and instructional alignment testing with 10 reviewers—including an accountability peer group, the school principal, and an active early childhood teacher. Refined narrator consistency, redesigned visual gamification parameters, updated color presentation to perfect accessibility compliance, and sharpened the assessment parameters to match objective scopes.
