The Challenge

New hires and frontline employees often struggle with time management and focus, especially in fast-paced environments with frequent interruptions. Traditional training tends to offer generic advice without emotional relevance or real-world application. The goal was to create a short, engaging module that felt personal, practical, and immediately useful—without overwhelming the learner.

The Solution

Using Articulate Storyline, I created a short eLearning course that provided techniques and strategies for tackling procrastination and managing interruptions.  Including in the course were the following: 

• Scenario-Based Design: Learners navigate realistic workplace situations and choose how to respond, receiving tailored feedback that builds self-awareness and confidence.  The scenarios can easily be changed to be job-specific without having to change the rest of the eLearning.

• Reflection Slide: A clickable summary of all techniques and strategies encourages learners to revisit and apply what they’ve learned.

• Feedback Survey: Learners are invited to share their experience, helping refine future iterations and measure impact.

The Results

My goal is to Increase learner engagement through interactive, decision-based storytelling.  I want to provide easy to use techniques to make any employees time more productive.

The design for “Stay in the Driver’s Seat” began with a clear goal: to help learners recognize and respond to procrastination and workplace interruptions in a way that felt practical, emotionally intelligent, and immediately applicable. I began by sketching a visual outline in Canva to  map the course flow and structure. 

Rather than relying on generic advice, the module focused on four core techniques  for procrastination and three interruption strategies. I wanted to include some scenarios for practice and a reflection piece so the learner could think about how they could apply a technique or strategy to their own professional life. 

After sketching the initial course outline in Canva, I moved into drafting a written storyboard. I used Microsoft Copilot to help write out a playful script with a car-theme metaphors.  The content was not impacted and still focused on my original 4 core techniques and three interruption strategies.  I included scenario based questions in order to have the learner practice what they learned in a real world setting.    Once the structure was solid, I filled in the traditional storyboard with audio narration and slide-level content to guide visual and instructional flow.

With the storyboard finalized, I moved into course development using Articulate Storyline. I sourced, customized, and edited all visuals using a blend of Canva shapes and imagery—ensuring each graphic supported the learning experience and maintained a cohesive, branded feel. I used layers, triggers, and the morphing transition to create a fun and interactive learning experience.  To wrap up the course, I designed an original feedback survey in google forms in order to help me gain feedback on the learner experience and course effectiveness.
