I design learning experiences that help people think through real situations, make decisions, and apply what they learn on the job. For the past 18 years, I have worked across the entire learning process, from analysis and design to development and facilitation. I believe people learn best when they are given the opportunity to work through challenges and figure things out for themselves. Most training is designed to prevent mistakes. I design for what happens after them. I specialize in two areas: 1. Scenario-Based E-Learning: I design self-paced learning experiences that help learners make decisions, solve problems, and apply what they learn in real situations. This includes: • Learning analysis and course structure • Storyboards and scripts • Scenario-based lessons • Simulations and branching scenarios • Knowledge checks and feedback • Development in Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise 360 2. Facilitator-Led Training Design: I design instructor-led and virtual instructor-led experiences that give facilitators a clear structure while giving learners opportunities to think, discuss, practice, and reflect. This includes: • Session design and flow • Presentation materials • Facilitator guides • Participant materials • Case studies and scenarios • Activities and discussions Clients have described me as structured, organized, and someone who knows what she is doing. One client specifically chose scenario-based tutorials and simulations because they matched the type of learning experience they wanted for their team. If you are looking for training that helps people think through real situations and apply what they learn on the job, I would be glad to talk.
