ADDIE - Analysis Module

This demo features the Analysis module from a course on the ADDIE model, built in Articulate Storyline over the course of an afternoon. The goal was to create a concise, functional example that illustrates how foundational instructional design concepts can be brought to life through interactive eLearning.

On the final page, you may click a button to access a PDF of the original storyboard used to build this demo, along with an outline of the full course structure. Together, these materials show my end-to-end design process—from concept and content organization to interactive development and prototype delivery.

Vibe Coding NY Times Connections

Articulate recently had an eLearning Hero Challenge for building something using Rise's new code block feature. I decided to try out some vibe coding and made a quick interaction that is a clone of the New York Times Connections game. This was my first foray into vibe coding and I can't believe how quick and easy it was to build this. 

So. Much. Potential.

UPDATE: I'm proud to say that this interaction was selected to be featured in the Articulate eLearning Heroes roundup for September 2025, as well as their weekly newsletter. 

Using Generative AI Responsibly

This course represents the kind of training a company might deploy before granting employees access to generative AI tools. It’s designed to set expectations, promote responsible use, and ensure learners understand company policies before moving forward.

While the learner experience appears simple and seamless, the course includes advanced functionality behind the scenes. For example, the final acknowledgment screen isn’t just a passive confirmation—it’s configured as a quiz question with a single correct response. This setup allows the learning management system (LMS) to track not only course completion but also verification that the learner actively attested to the policy.

This project is one of many examples where I’ve built subtle yet powerful interactions that enhance compliance, accountability, and data tracking—without disrupting the learner’s experience.

Change Management Infographic

I was reading The Heart of Change by John P. Kotter and decided to build this infographic based on his 8 Steps for Successful Change. Using Canva, I broke each step down into clear actions and behaviors, then added simple visuals to show the flow of momentum from one stage to the next.

My goal was to turn a classic change framework into something that feels approachable and practical—the kind of resource a leader or learner could glance at and immediately see how the process unfolds. It’s a small example of how I like to blend instructional design and visual communication: taking solid theory and presenting it in a way that helps people actually use it.

Adaptive Course

This proof of concept demonstrates an adaptive learning course that personalizes content based on learner performance. The experience begins with a pretest, which generates a customized course plan. Learners who perform well on specific topics are directed to a shortened version that covers only the core material, while those who struggle are assigned the full version of that topic. In this prototype, each topic includes only one question to illustrate the logic, but in a full implementation, the system could use a larger question pool to more precisely gauge proficiency and tailor the learning path accordingly. 

Interactions

These samples highlight a few of the interactive elements I’ve built for various eLearning courses. Each example demonstrates a different way to engage learners and present information dynamically. The four-button interaction allows learners to explore key concepts at their own pace, while the carousel interaction presents a series of related ideas or visuals in a clean, guided format. The lifecycle graphic interaction helps visualize a process or system in motion, encouraging exploration and reinforcing understanding through visual cues. Finally, the animated process interaction brings a step-by-step procedure to life, making complex sequences easier to follow and remember.

Together, these samples showcase my ability to design interactive learning experiences that balance clarity, creativity, and usability—transforming static content into meaningful learner engagement.

We Are Learning Demo

The eLearning Designer's Academy sponsors a monthly elearning challenge and the October 2025 challenge was to design a customer service de-escalation course using a new AI-powered tool called We Are Learning. I was impressed; this feels like the next evolution of tools like Vyond. 

One of the most interesting features is the AI Open Response interactions. Basically, the learner can speak directly to the avatars in the course and have an AI-powered conversation. It definitely has some kinks to work out (there were a few times in testing when I managed to derail the chatbot) but when it works, it feels like a magic trick.

I also had a lot of fun building this totally fictitious donut chain for this totally made-up situation that totally didn't almost lead to me being late for a Saturday morning matinee of One Battle After Another. If that had happened, I can assure you that I was much nicer than the guy in this training who bears a suspicious resemblance to me.
