e-learning microlesson
Audience: Novice Instructional Designers
Responsibilities: Script Writing, Storyboarding, Visual Design, Prototype Development
Tools Used: Articulate Storyline, WCAG Color Tool
Problem Solved: Help novice instructional designers understand the Instructional Design process of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation).
Timeline: August-September 2025
Tools: Lectora, WCAG
Project Overview
In this project, I addressed the challenge of learner passivity by transforming the theoretical ADDIE framework into an interactive, application-based microlesson. By simulating a real-world digital environment, I reduced the barrier between 'learning' the model and 'using' the model.
Process
For this project, I was both the SME and designer. I first gathered the definitions I needed to explain the ADDIE process. ADDIE is a classic instructional design model developed in the 1970s that has since been widely adopted. It is organized into five interrelated phases and help guide the decisions of Instructional Designers to ensure they are aligning projects to design best practices.
Mind Map
For this project, I found it best to start with the problem, then break up the different sections that would help novice instructional designers understand the ADDIE model. This included introduction, navigation, definition, drag and drop, knoweldge test.
