Challenge: Astronomika is opening a new headquarters with an on-site clinic. The instructional design team Designers in Development was tasked with designing a HIPAA training to ensure all clinic staff are in compliance with the law.
Solution: The team worked through the end-to-end development of the learning solution, which ultimately was comprised of an eLearning course, Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT), participant and facilitator guides, and an assessment. We interviewed the SME, conducted a needs analysis, developed learning objects, scripted, storyboarded, and built out each deliverable in an iterative and highly collaborative process.
Results: We received praise for our design, particularly the participant and facilitator guides. We learned from the constructive feedback we received about how we would successfully implement this learning solution in a real-world scenario.

Google Classroom Teacher Training
Google Classroom Teacher Training
During the COVID-19 school closure in spring 2020, it was evident that there were gaps in school staff members' ability to use Google Classroom, our main learning management system (LMS), effectively. I designed and implemented this learning experience synchronously to teaching staff over our conferencing platform, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.
