Today many organizations in both higher education and the corporate world are using platforms such as edX to quickly develop and offer online courses.

This project involved the design and development of a series of infographics for a college level business Wiley & Sons textbook. NifteLearning collaborated with stakeholders to wireframe, prototype, and create complex infographics aligned to textbook chapter content. NifteLearning acted as both instructional designer and graphic designer.

NifteLearning has collaborated with Sunshower Learning for a number of years in order to design and develop high-quality training programs on the topic of workplace inclusion and unconscious bias. This work has included:

Today many academic textbooks are accompanied by digital assets provided by the publisher, including videos, assessments, and even online learning games.

NifteLearning has partnered with Nickel City Learning Solutions to support their onboarding efforts. This has included training new clients on enrolling and using their Learning Management System (Teachable), as well as familiarizing them with communication software such as Slack.

Western Governors University (WGU) is a widely respected college well-known for their competency-based educational model.

While our slogan suggests “tell PowerPoint you met someone else”, the truth is that sometimes a PowerPoint may be the right solution. This project aimed at communicating data-heavy program information to the WGU University governing board. The goal was to design a presentation that was thorough and engaging, but also short and to the point.

This project included a series of courses that were sold for profit as an additional resource for urban planners. This particular course aimed to introduce key models and concepts found in the field of municipal fiscal health.

This online course for Sleep Therapeutics is geared towards organizations looking to improve their employees sleep habits. In this project, I provided instructional design support to adapt a 12-week drip email course into 8 separate sleep skill units. My role included Storyboarding a WordPress course, as well as making recommendations using H5P plugins. I also created custom graphics to support the content.

This corporate training is aimed at moving sales professionals from a transactional/product-based sales towards a consultative/service-based approach. This demo features one module, “Resolving Customer Concerns”, which presents the model for working with customers and then provides the learner with scenarios in which they need to make decisions.

During this project, I worked as both an instructional designer and eLearning developer. My role included:

1. Creating a high-level course structure
2. Working with subject matter experts (SMEs) to review existing PowerPoints and develop new content
3. Creating eLearning storyboards. Making revisions based on SME and client input
4. Developing a graphic direction for the program, consistent with client branding guidelines
5. Building interactive courses in Storyline based off approved Storyboards
6. Developing custom graphics in Illustrator
7. Drafting assessments
8. Testing and QA
9. Collaborating with a large team of project managers, instructional designers, LMS administrators, subject matter experts, etc.

ASICC-MED is a placement management center that provides health professionals to fill vacancies in a range of health care environments. This course was part of an effort to reduce onboarding time from 3 months to 1.5 months and to improve employee ability to manage client bookings.

This project involved developing microlearning mobile courses for Optimum Safety Management. Each course is approximately five-minutes in length, covers a specific topic relating to safety compliance (either general construction or industry), and ends with a short-multiple choice quiz. Learner experience on a mobile device was a key consideration during the development process: font size is large, slides are extremely visual, and animations are used to explain difficult concepts.

This higher education project involved redesigning a university course to be delivered by an instructor online using Blackboard.

This demo was inspired by the Articulate e-Learning Heroes challenge #157 Interactive Video Quizzes for e-Learning, as well as a free video clip I found on the Pixabay website.  Who doesn’t love pirates?

This portfolio piece showcases how eLearning can be used to teach children. It uses strong graphic design, sound effects, and gamified elements (levels) to engage students. Each level is short and has students practice their skills. eLearning can provide children a more interactive learning experience, keeping them engaged and interested. However, when designing, it is extremely important to keep age sub-group in mind. This will ultimately impact the success of the eLearning course.
