E-Learning Development

Rapidly Creating Beautiful and Engaging eLearning Experiences for a Lasting Impact

I design, develop, and deliver custom eLearning experiences that drive measurable increases in knowledge, skill application, and job performance. My courses are successful because they integrate expert instructional design principles with technical mastery of tools like Articulate Storyline and Rise, ensuring engaging interactivity and appealing visual design.

Project Overview

Over the past decade, I’ve developed and edited hundreds of custom eLearning modules used by learners across Florida and beyond. These projects supported a wide range of audiences—from kindergarten students to adults in professional development programs.

Each module I built was designed to engage learners, support knowledge transfer, and work reliably across platforms and devices—while meeting tight timelines and evolving technical requirements.

  • Translate instructional goals into intuitive visual designs

  • Build interactive and accessible modules in Articulate Storyline

  • Balance creative design with usability and long-term maintenance

🎯 Objectives

Screenshots from an eLearning module I wrote and developed in Articulate Storyline 360 featuring an inquiry-based training scenario where learners use virtual laboratory equipment for data-based decision making. The module includes a practice-based instructional model, self-produced videos, and custom quiz slides featuring multiple choice, drag and drop, and text entry items with on-demand zoom and highlighting effects.

👩‍🏫 Instructional Design Approach

  • Applied Gagné’s Nine Events, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and Mayer’s principles

  • Designed clear objectives, scenario-based content, and practice activities

  • Used PowerPoint and Word for planning and storyboarding

🛠️ Tools: Word • PowerPoint • Internal style guides

💻 Articulate Storyline Development

  • Built:

    • Drag-and-drops, sliders, dials, and branching paths

    • Custom quiz types and freeform interactions

    • JavaScript-powered enhancements for advanced functionality

  • Used variables, layers, and triggers for modular interactivity

  • Ensured responsiveness across devices and browsers

🎨 Visual & Graphic Design

  • Created layouts to reduce cognitive load and highlight key content

  • Designed custom icons, infographics, and branded visual templates

  • Used motion and transitions selectively to support learning

  • Applied consistent visual identity when required (e.g., state standards)

✅ Accessibility & QA

  • Designed for WCAG 2.1 from the start

  • Added alt text, closed captions, focus order, and keyboard navigation

  • Personally created 50+ accessible versions of Storyline modules

  • Tested with screen readers and manual walkthroughs

  • Implemented and tested xAPI statements

📌 Featured Projects

  • The title slide for an eLearning module shows text with a castle, a catapult, a huge stone, medieval banners, and the bars of a histogram in the sky behind the castle.

Reflection

This work represents the core of what I love about instructional design: translating complex ideas into meaningful, visually engaging, and accessible experiences.

Articulate Storyline became more than just a tool—it was a canvas for creating impactful learning.

🎸 Fun Fact:

I play guitar, where theory, practice, and creativity come together to connect with listeners—just like in learning design, where structure, flow, and real-world application drive meaningful outcomes.
