Corporate projects run the gamut from straightforward videos to print brochures to live training to interactive digital training modules. I’ve worked on all of these different types of projects for very small, medium-sized, and larger corporations, and on a wide range of projects. Some of my most interesting projects required me to work directly with subject matter experts within the corporation itself.
Professional Training for Construction Professionals
Construction professionals need to be on top of codes, new materials, and innovative construction techniques. But between managing clients and construction teams they have little time to dedicate to formal instruction. The solution: a set of interactive, self-paced training modules that allow learners to explore areas of interest when and as they have the time. My role in this project for Hanley Wood involved interviewing experts, conducting research, and building storyboards to be used in interactive online courses.
Cybersecurity in a Theme Park
It’s one thing to teach your employees to avoid phishing schemes. It’s something quite different to explain how hackers might be able to shut down power on a roller coaster in the middle of a corkscrew turn or turn the water off during a flume ride. The solution: a training video for Herschend Family Entertainment, the company that runs theme parks like Dollywood. My role was to conduct research and create a script explaining how the “Internet of Things” can be hacked– and what to do in case of a suspected security breach.
Microlearning for Young People
GoHenry is a UK-based corporation that provides parent-managed credit cards and financial education to children and teens. As the corporation grows, its educational mission has expanded–but how do you engage kids in learning to handle their money? The answer lies in a combination of gamification and micro-learning. My role at GoHenry involves the development of relevant scripts for youngsters in the UK and US, Instagram-style micro-learning “stories,” and gamified “assessments” that allow users to earn “experience points” while also gaining important insights about money management. Users access GoHenry credit tools and educational “missions” via an app that’s available through the Apple store and Google.
