Microlearning

Project Overview:
This animated microlearning video was created in Vyond with elements from Camtasia as a fun, fast-paced PSA for pet owners. The goal was to walk viewers through the essential steps of safely deskunking a dog using a clear and memorable format that supports just-in-time learning.

Purpose:
To demonstrate the power of microlearning for real-world problem solving. This project showcases how instructional design principles can be applied outside traditional corporate settings—delivering essential information in under three minutes, when and where it’s needed most.

Design Focus:

The video uses conversational narration, simple animation, and a scenario-based structure to engage the learner quickly. Humor and clear visual cues help reduce stress in a potentially urgent situation. It’s designed to be paired with a printable job aid and includes a QR code for easy access. 

Project Overview:
This animated video resume was created using Vyond to highlight my instructional design journey, skills, and portfolio. It blends storytelling with visual design to introduce who I am, what I bring to the table, and how my teaching background translates to business impact.

Purpose:
To provide recruiters and hiring managers with an engaging, visually compelling overview of my experience, tools, and approach—in under three minutes. The goal was to stand out in a crowded field while demonstrating my ability to communicate clearly through multimedia.

Design Focus:
The video uses strong visuals, animated transitions, and a conversational voiceover to reflect both creativity and instructional design expertise. It showcases alignment between business goals, learner outcomes, and a call to action.

Project Overview:
This Camtasia video tutorial demonstrates creating a custom PDF by extracting and combining pages from multiple documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro. Designed as a quick microlearning module, the video guides users through a real-world task in under 3 minutes, making it ideal for busy professionals. 

Purpose:
To teach adult learners a time-saving document management skill often used in client communications, reporting, and internal documentation. 

Design Focus:
The tutorial was built with a focus on clarity, efficiency, and accessibility. It uses conversational narration, step-by-step visuals, and subtle animations to keep learners engaged and confident in applying the technique independently. 

Purpose:

These job aids were created to complement an e-Learning course for AutoSafe sales staff. 

The goal is to reinforce learning by providing quick-reference tools that summarize key information covered in the training.

These static, printable PDF job aids were intentionally chosen to support just-in-time learning. Sales reps can use them during customer calls, meetings, or even as part of pre-call planning, making them ideal for field use. This modality ensures quick accessibility without the need for a digital platform in real-time conversations.

Both job aids are meant to be used after completion of the AutoSafe eLearning course and serve as performance support tools in real-world contexts, ensuring that learning is transferred effectively from training to application.

Purpose:

These job aids were developed to complement an e-Learning course designed for bakery staff learning to prepare the new Black Forest Cake. The first aid provides a detailed list of required ingredients, while the second offers appropriate substitutions for common ingredients. Together, they ensure that bakers are well-equipped to maintain consistency and quality, even when certain items are unavailable.

The print-friendly, easy-to-reference format was chosen to support quick access in a busy kitchen environment, minimizing disruption during the baking process. These aids align directly with the course’s learning objective: enabling bakers to independently prepare the Black Forest Cake to meet quality standards. They are intended to be used during training and on-the-job preparation, reinforcing learning, reducing errors, and supporting real-time performance.

Purpose:

This job aid was created to supplement a microlearning PSA video designed in Vyond and edited with Camtasia. The goal was to provide dog owners with a quick, accessible, and actionable reference during a real-life skunk encounter. 

The aid supports just-in-time performance by combining essential information—ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and safety precautions—into one clear, printable resource. A QR code is included to provide instant access to the instructional video, making it ideal for both proactive preparation and emergency use. 

Instead of splitting content into multiple documents, I designed a single-page, user-friendly layout to reduce cognitive load and support faster decision-making in a high-stress situation. The use of visual hierarchy, iconography, and plain language ensures accessibility and ease of use. 

Purpose

This job aid was created as a performance support tool to reinforce key concepts from the "Giving Feedback from a Leadership Perspective" VILT session.

It provides leaders with side-by-side guidance on two widely used feedback models—SBI (Situation-Behavior-Impact) and COIN (Context-Observation-Impact-Next Steps). The job aid breaks down each model with step-by-step instructions, real-world examples, and practical tips for implementation. It also includes a quick comparison to help leaders decide which model to use based on the situation. Designed for use before or during feedback conversations, this resource supports on-the-job application and helps leaders deliver feedback that is specific, actionable, and aligned with business outcomes.
