Scenario-Based Interactive
This work sample features a scenario-based learning activity developed in Articulate Storyline, designed to immerse learners in realistic decision-making experiences. Using branching interactions and immediate feedback, the module promotes critical thinking, reflection, and active engagement.
The flexible structure supports deeper understanding and empathy by placing learners in context-rich situations where their choices directly impact outcomes. This format is highly adaptable for use in simulations, case studies, or professional training modules across a variety of disciplines.
-
Microlearning
This work sample demonstrates the use of microlearning principles in online course design. Developed as a brief, focused learning experience, the module presents key concepts through visually engaging slides and layered interactions. Its short duration, clear structure, and interactive elements support just-in-time learning and reinforce retention. Ideal for asynchronous environments, this format is effective for introducing foundational concepts, offering quick refreshers, or supporting spaced learning strategies within a larger curriculum.
-
Gamification
This work sample showcases the use of gamification in an online learning environment, developed using Articulate Storyline. Designed to boost learner engagement and retention, the activity features interactive game elements such as immediate feedback, challenge-based progression, and a visually dynamic interface.
By transforming review content into a game-like experience, this example demonstrates how instructional design can leverage motivational strategies to make learning more interactive, enjoyable, and effective. The format is highly adaptable across topics and well-suited for both asynchronous and blended course models.

Interactive Online Module: Multimedia Learning Experience
This work sample showcases an interactive online module designed to support active learning and exploration using a suite of multimedia tools. Developed in ThingLink, the experience features clickable hotspots, embedded visuals, and layered content that allow learners to engage at their own pace in a highly intuitive, self-directed format.
The module integrates:
Narration created with Eleven Labs for natural-sounding AI voiceovers
A Camtasia-produced video introduction, enhanced with voice editing in Audiate
A podcast-style audio companion, generated using Notebook LM, to provide extended context and reflection
An H5P knowledge check embedded to reinforce understanding and support formative assessment
This approach enhances comprehension, supports diverse learning preferences, and is especially effective for presenting complex or interconnected concepts in a user-friendly, immersive environment.
-
Virtual Scavenger Hunt
This work sample illustrates the use of a virtual scavenger hunt to enhance learner engagement in an online course setting. Designed to promote exploration, curiosity, and active participation, this strategy encourages students to interact with course materials or external resources in a meaningful, goal-oriented way. The activity supports student motivation, reinforces key concepts through discovery-based learning, and can be adapted for individual or collaborative use across a variety of subjects and learning levels.
-
Interactive Tabs
This work sample demonstrates the use of Articulate Rise to create an interactive tab-based design that organizes instructional content in a clear, user-friendly format. Through clickable tabs, learners can explore information at their own pace, supporting self-directed navigation and reducing cognitive overload.
This modular approach enhances engagement, encourages exploration, and improves accessibility in online course design. It is especially effective for presenting layered or comparative content and can be easily adapted for various subject areas or learning objectives.
-
Interactive Knowledge Check
This work sample features a gamified knowledge check developed in Articulate Storyline, designed to help learners review and reinforce key concepts in a self-paced, engaging format. The activity incorporates interactive elements and immediate feedback to promote active recall, repetition, and reflection.
With its clean layout, intuitive navigation, and game-like structure, this knowledge check offers an engaging alternative to traditional quizzes, making it especially effective as a formative assessment tool in online learning environments.
