The Beginner's Guide to Modern Intelligence
Tools: Articulate Storyline, Gemini AI generated images
Highlights: Custom navigation with one-directional progression, text entry with reference variables, branching snap accordion menu, related content diagram, horizontal slider, vertical flip cards, text content carousel, tabbed interactions, click-to-reveal interactions
Audience: Designed for non-technical professionals across all departments who are beginning to encounter AI in their daily work, this module supports learners seeking a practical understanding of AI terminology, core concepts, and workplace applications. The content is intended to build confidence and promote informed, responsible use of AI tools regardless of role or prior technical background.
Process: The module was developed using a structured storyboard that defined learning objectives, visual style, and interaction flow. A cohesive, AI-inspired color palette and imagery were selected to create a consistent and professional learning experience. Custom navigation was implemented to guide learners through content using intentional, one-directional movement, reducing unnecessary backtracking and supporting a clear learning path. Interactions were designed with careful attention to visual hierarchy, usability, and cognitive load to maintain engagement without overwhelming the learner. A branching menu allows users to choose the order in which they explore sections, balancing guided structure with learner autonomy. This module is informational in nature and does not include formal knowledge checks or assessments.
Food Safety Training
Tools: Articulate Storyline, Gemini AI generated images
Highlights: Interactions include drag and drop, dial, accordion, interactive image, flashcards, tabs, labeled graphic, knowledge checks, and a scenario based assessment
Business Problem: Restaurant chain Maple & Main has an increase of reported foodborne illness from customers within 24 hours of eating at the restaurant.
Business Goal: Reduce the number of reported foodborne illness cases by 80% within three months of implementing the food handling training program by ensuring 100% of kitchen staff complete the training and pass a final assessment with a minimum score of 80%.
Audience: This training is intended for all kitchen staff involved in food preparation, including line cooks, prep cooks, and supervisory personnel. The majority of participants (approximately 65%) are aged 17–24 with limited work experience in food service. Many are in their first job or have less than one year of kitchen experience. About 15% of learners are experienced cooks with several years in the industry, and 20% hold supervisory or management roles, such as shift leads or kitchen managers. These individuals may already be familiar with food safety procedures but will benefit from standardized training and updates on current best practices in order to ensure policies and procedures are followed by all kitchen staff.
Process: The development process for this Articulate Storyline project followed a structured instructional design approach using the ADDIE model. The process began with identifying the target audience, defining the business problem, and establishing the learning goals in a detailed design document. Building on this foundation, a comprehensive storyboard was created to define the visual design and plan interactive elements. Finally, the course was developed in Articulate Storyline using an iterative process, incorporating multiple rounds of review, feedback, and refinement to ensure optimal functionality, interactivity, and an engaging learner experience.
Evaluation: Evaluation of the course’s effectiveness incorporated Kirkpatrick’s Level 2 (Learning) to measure knowledge and skill acquisition through interactive assessments, and Level 3 (Behavior) to assess on-the-job application through follow-up surveys and performance metrics.

Pricing and Merchandising
Tools: Articulate Rise, Gemini AI generated images
Highlights: A variety of interactions including flashcards, labeled graphic, accordion, knowledge check, tab, process, and a scenario based assessment
Business Problem: Merchandise pricing adjustments are required at the register due to errors in sales floor signage leading to customer frustration, requiring a manager override, and increasing checkout times.
Business Goal: Reduce price-related register adjustments caused by signage errors by 50% within six months, thereby improving checkout speed and enhancing customer experience.
Audience: Store Pricing and Merchandising Associates who work directly on the sales floor, responsible for pricing or signing updates and product placement.
Process: The audience, business problem, and goal were first identified to establish a clear foundation. Learning objectives were then developed and aligned with content and assessment using a detailed content map. Interactive elements were thoughtfully integrated during design and development to enhance engagement and support knowledge retention. To reduce cognitive load, content was strategically segmented and sequenced to align with the learning objectives. Feedback gathered from the content map and Rise review was incorporated to deliver a comprehensive and effective learning solution.
Evaluation: To evaluate learning effectiveness, the design included both formative and summative assessments aligned to Kirkpatrick’s Level 2 (Learning)—capturing learner mastery through scenario-based activities and knowledge checks built in Rise. Post-implementation data and learner feedback are used to measure Level 3 (Behavior) outcomes, tracking the transfer of new skills to workplace performance.

New Hire Salesfloor Prep
Tools: Articulate Rise, Gemini AI generated images
Highlights: 4 scenario interactions with branching along with flashcard, timeline, and tab interactions
Business Problem: New hire associates lack the skills and confidence when first working the salesfloor, increasing the need for support from supervisors and/or other associates and therefore negatively impacting work flow and efficiency.
Business Goal: Improve new hire associates' ability to work independently and effectively on the salesfloor by reducing calls to supervisors for support by 50%.
Audience: All new hire salesfloor associates
Process: Each lesson begins with targeted content delivery, followed by interactive scenarios that allow learners to apply newly acquired skills in context. These scenarios include multiple practice situations, each offering tailored feedback and dynamic character expressions to reinforce learning. To deepen engagement and perspective-taking, the scenarios are designed with varied narrative viewpoints—2nd person (What should you do?), 3rd person (What should he/she do?) situations, and a 1st person conversation (What should I do?)—enabling learners to think critically from different angles.
Evaluation: This scenario-based Rise module focuses on building learner confidence and commitment—key Level 2 indicators—while supporting Level 3 behavior change, enabling effective application of skills in the workplace.
