Interactive Learning Design

✳ Project 1: Complex Process Flowchart to Interactive Hotspot

Original ➡

Challenge

Static visual representations required learners to process complex information all at once, increasing cognitive load.
Limited affordances for chunking, pacing, or guiding learners through multi‑stage procedures made the content difficult to navigate.
Difficulty supporting sequential understanding because static visuals did not clearly scaffold step‑by‑step processes.
Linear, non‑interactive graphics limited opportunities for learner engagement and active exploration.
Static formats did not align with best practices in multimedia learning, reducing clarity and learner motivation.
Needed a more dynamic approach to represent complex workflows in a way that supports comprehension, retention, and learner autonomy.

Microbiomics Process Hotspotsw Music.mp4

Solution

Transformed the static visual into an interactive multimedia element to promote active engagement.
Broke the complex process into clickable, sequential steps to support chunking and reduce cognitive load.
Enabled learner‑paced exploration, allowing users to access details when they were ready rather than processing everything at once.
Applied multimedia learning principles by pairing concise text with interactive elements to enhance comprehension.
Designed the interaction to reinforce procedural understanding, guiding learners through each stage of the workflow.
Improved overall usability by creating a structure that supports exploratory learning, autonomy, and deeper cognitive processing.

✳ Project 2: Managing Cognitive Overload

Original ➡

Challenge

Presenting a large volume of information at once increased cognitive load for learners.
Lack of chunking and sequencing reduced clarity, limiting learners’ ability to follow the intended learning pathway.
Static visuals made it difficult to convey the interactive and interconnected nature of the concept, weakening conceptual understanding.
The format did not support exploration or deeper engagement with multi‑step processes.

Solution

Reduced cognitive load by dividing dense slide content into smaller, digestible segments.
Supported learner‑paced navigation by enabling learners to explore each step individually.
Shifted from passive viewing to active engagement through clickable, sequential interactive elements.
Improved comprehension by guiding learners through the process one step at a time.
Applied multimedia learning principles to enhance clarity, pacing, and overall learner experience.

✳ Project 3: Interactive Summary

Original ➡

Challenge

Fragmented layout increased cognitive load, making it harder for learners to process and retain information.
The multi-slide design lacked cohesive information architecture, preventing learners from understanding how related content connected.
Static presentation offered no opportunities for active learning or interaction, limiting engagement and deeper processing.
Minimal visual hierarchy reduced clarity, making key ideas less accessible.
The format did not support integrated understanding, weakening learners’ ability to form meaningful connections between the two pieces of information.

Solution

Improved information architecture by merging related slides into a single, cohesive layout that supports integrated understanding.
Reduced cognitive load by streamlining content flow and presenting connected ideas together.
Increased learner engagement by transforming static content into an interactive element embedded within the Rise course.
Shifted from passive viewing to active learning, encouraging exploration and participation.
Enhanced visual hierarchy and design consistency, aligning the redesigned element with overall course branding.
Strengthened comprehension by guiding learners through a unified, visually appealing presentation.

✳ Project 4: Knowledge Checks

Select the video below to view the interactive lesson.

Traumatic Expreiences Impact Knowldege Check.mp4

Challenge

Learners lacked opportunities to monitor comprehension in real time, relying only on pre‑ and post‑tests.
Absence of formative checkpoints made it difficult for learners to gauge understanding as they progressed.
Without timely feedback, learners struggled to identify knowledge gaps and adjust their learning strategies.
Limited feedback mechanisms hindered self‑regulation, reducing learner confidence and autonomy.
The course needed ongoing, meaningful feedback loops to support comprehension, retention, and continuous improvement.

Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction

Solution

Incorporated formative knowledge checks (sorting activities, multiple‑choice questions) with immediate feedback.
Ensured all assessments were aligned with learning objectives to reinforce key concepts.
Enabled learners to monitor their understanding throughout the lesson, not just at the end.
Provided actionable, real‑time feedback to help learners identify areas needing review.
Strengthened learner readiness for the summative assessment and overall course success.
