How We manage learning

  • A goal of the Learning and Development department was to revamp the company onboarding program.

    I created training for three of the basic programs for new employees - LearnMeridian (LMS), Linkedin Learning, and KnowBe4.

    This course is part of a larger onboarding learning path that provides essential knowledge of tools and resource, ensuring familiarity with critical software and processes. With interactive modules and assessments, the program engages learners and reinforces key concepts.

  • Designer and Developer

    • Research and consult with SMEs in HR to determine the best practices for each software.

    • Write the course script for each software.

    • Screen record with Movavi

    • Record audio with Adobe Audition

    • Create introduction videos in Vyond

    • Add elements and develop the Storyline file

    • Publish the SCORM package to the LMS

  • The onboarding course aims to reduce the time-to-productivity for new hires within the first six months of employment, ensuring they are fully integrated and contributing effectively to their teams.

    1. Understand the purpose and specifics of each tool/software.

    2. Understand and apply the ideal configurations needed for consistency across the enterprise.

    3. Identify guidelines to follow when using each tool.

my process

This course is designed for new employees, prioritizing a learner-centric layout and design. The main landing page is divided into three distinct tools, incorporating hover states to visually indicate the selected resource. After completing the resource section, the box transitions to a visited state, allowing learners to easily identify which tools they have already reviewed.

Given that the learners for this course are new to the material, it is essential to present information in small increments. Each key point is accompanied by a manual "Next" button, enabling learners to proceed at their own pace before continuing.

Some learners enrolled in this course were already acquainted with the tool. To respect the time of adult learners, I incorporated a branching slide that lets them bypass the basics.

If they are not familiar with the resource, I embedded a link to a separate microlearning course from our LMS. This basic training was previously developed, allowing me to save valuable time by linking to the existing resource rather than recreating it in a new course.

This approach ensures that the course is customized to deliver only the necessary content for each learner.

Minimizing frustration for learners in this course was a priority for me. As a new employee, it’s common to feel overwhelmed. To address this, I included multiple “lifelines” throughout the training, guiding learners on whom to contact for assistance. The buttons below include triggers that automatically initiate an email for the learner, streamlining the support process.
