Let’s look at an example

Sample: A client has requested a series of system simulations, with a learning goal of helping learners understand how to react to and prevent cybersecurity issues. This training is intended to launch globally, and needs to support learners that may speak other languages. The client has requested that this training has fun and dynamic visuals and engaging activities without overpowering the learning goals and objectives.

For this example, here are 3 activities designed to accomplish the following objectives:

  • The learners will test their knowledge by answering security questions to decrypt a device.

  • Learners will identify potential security risks for visitors entering an office.

  • Lerners will create advanced and easy to remember passwords.

Quick note - these activities are translated in Portuguese, Japanese and English.

To watch the full walkthroughs of these trainings, check out the my project catalog.

  • "Throughout the time I have known Cade, he has always held a very high standard of quality for his work. I’ve consistently been impressed with his attention to detail, always presenting a polished finished product that has been thoughtfully planned and executed. I’ve worked with Cade for many years and it has been fascinating to watch him combine his creative talents with technical skills and abilities as he has continued to develop himself and hone in his craft as a seasoned instructional designer. His work speaks for itself, and I think he would be a strong asset to any team or organization."

LMS

Sample: The company is looking to improve traffic and engagement with their Learning Management System. This LMS is used globally and houses curriculum relevant to the company’s standards and values. To help address various training needs, leadership was looking to find ways to empower more employees to seek out valuable training resources.

To address these requests, I partnered with leadership and training contacts across all markets to facilitate various trainings designed help employ effective eLearning best practices. This training is an example of how I trained leadership not only access reporting features in the LMS to build reports including important learning data, but also how to coach to the data and bolster the learning culture.

Results

By administering our LMS and by offering trainings like this and many others, we were able to see a notable increase in eLearning course enrollments and overall LMS engagement globally, even with a decrease of total users.
