Articulate Storyline Course
Course explainer video [1 min 19 sec]
Development Tools: Articulate Storyline 360, Articulate Review 360, Vyond, Canva Magic AI Image Generator, ElevenLabs AI Voiceover Generator
Year: 2024
Development Time: 100 hours
Responsibilities: Needs Analysis, Visual Design, Storyboarding, Content Development, Prototyping, AI-Based Image and Voiceover Creation, Project Management
Client: MENTOR Vermont
Collaborators: Subject Matter Expert (SME) and Training Director
Summary: A 30-minute eLearning course in Articulate Storyline, featuring AI-generated images and voiceovers, along with two custom animations designed in Vyond.
Challenge: The visual design was challenging due to the client’s color palette. I had to use 6 colors from the MENTOR Vermont brand book, each with a shade, plus additional course theme colors (pink and purple), totaling 14 colors. The design also needed to include a drawing of a unicorn (using the third-party Gender Unicorn Tool), rainbows, playful fonts, and other visuals that appeal to youth culture.
From an instructional standpoint, designing a course on identity presented the challenge of avoiding a purely informational approach in favor of developing meaningful skills.
Solution: To move beyond passive information sharing, I collaborated with stakeholders to align the course with Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction, focusing on a task-centered design. To meet visual design expectations, the course took the form of a vibrant youth comic book using bright colors and playful fonts to reflect mentees’ culture.
Results: Stakeholders were 100% satisfied with the course’s unique visual design and the cohesive look achieved across assets created using Canva, Storyline, and Vyond. The consistent style delivered a seamless and engaging learning experience.

Summary: A 61-slide storyboard outlining key elements for stakeholder approval, including scripts, sound effects, navigation and interactivity, accessibility considerations, and visual layouts, designed in alignment with the client’s style guide.
Challenge: Sourcing vibrant images for the storyboard was challenging due to the Statement of Work requirements (incorporating 14 colors, illustrations of a unicorn, rainbows, and children) while still maintaining a cohesive design.
Solution: Using Canva Magic AI for image generation streamlined the creative process, enabling the production of visuals that met all complex requirements.
Results: AI image generation saved 80% of the time typically spent sourcing, creating, or customizing visuals for the online course. The resulting storyboard clearly communicated the training design and fully met stakeholder expectations.

Solution: Rumie addresses this gap by offering engaging, expert-reviewed Bytes — short, high-quality microlearning lessons designed by professional instructional designers and, when needed, reviewed by Subject Matter Experts to ensure accuracy.
Results: I published Bytes to the Rumie Learn Library, boosting learner engagement with concise text, visuals, and interactivity, while improving content quality by aligning with high-traffic learning objectives, integrating editorial feedback, and collaborating closely with volunteer learning designers.
Explainer Video Script
Animation Based on Script: Procedural Skill Training [2 min 57 sec]
Development Tools: Google Docs
Year: 2023
Development Time: 2 hours
Responsibilities: Scripting, Content Development
Client: Portfolio
Collaborators: Independent work
Summary: A 3-page script for an online course explainer video, including narration and corresponding visual material.
Challenge: The Statement of Work required a video tutorial from the SME, but they were unavailable to record it before the deadline.
Solution: Instead of a recorded video of the SME speaking, I proposed a concise animated explainer. The detailed script ensured the animation was clear, engaging, and easy to follow, eliminating the need for the SME’s direct involvement while still meeting the project requirements.
Results: By transitioning to animation and leveraging the script, I met the approved deadlines and delivered the project on time. The script streamlined development, ensuring a smooth and delay-free process.

Summary: A 5-step online quest, delivered automatically via Slack DMs when a new learner joins the course community, was designed as part of the onboarding process.
Challenge: Learners new to Slack may face challenges using the platform effectively for peer interaction and assignment completion.
Solution: By introducing a gamified onboarding quest on Slack, I guided new learning community members through platform essentials while fostering connection through a fun, interactive experience. Each step was designed to build confidence in using Slack and encourage early engagement with peers and course content from day one.
Results: Designing the onboarding as a Slack-based quest led to a completion rate of over 85%, fostering a more engaged and active course community. This approach also contributed to higher learner retention and improved course completion rates.
