How to Set Up Your Cyber Environment

Onboarding Training for K–12 Freedom Cyber Charter Families 

In this hypothetical scenario, I designed an interactive onboarding experience called How to Set Up Your Cyber Environment for newly enrolled K–12 Freedom Cyber Charter families. This training includes two distinct learning paths—one for parents and one for students—to complete together. The goal was to create a collaborative experience that supports both practical setup and healthy communication from day one.

To keep learners engaged, the course includes: Click-to-reveal interactions, a drag-and-drop activity, scenario-based decision-making exercises, and supportive sound effects to encourage retries and celebrate progress. Families also receive a downloadable, fillable Learning Agreement template to personalize together—helping ensure expectations are clear without compromising relationships.

What This Training Supports

  • Applying best practices for setting up a productive cyber workspace

  • Identifying strategies that strengthen the overall learning environment

  • Creating a collaborative Cyber Learning Agreement that supports both structure and connection

 

Success would be measured through post-training surveys, with responses indicating a smoother transition into cyber schooling.

Gilbert's Pharmacy

Interactive eLearning for Seasonal Sales Associates & Pharmacy Techs 

In this hypothetical scenario, I designed an interactive eLearning course focused on practical preventative hygiene methods for new seasonal sales associates and pharmacy techs at Gilbert’s Pharmacy.

 

Using a backward design approach, I began by mapping the learning flow in Freeform to ensure each interaction aligned directly with the learning objectives. From there, I developed a custom “Press Your Luck” theme in Photoshop to capture attention and create a playful, game-inspired structure for the training. I then built the course was built in Articulate Storyline 360 to include click-to-reveal interactions, a slider interaction highlighting commonly missed handwashing spots, and purposeful animations to reinforce key points.

Midway through building the project, I caught a cold myself—which gave me a deeper appreciation for the real-world relevance of the topic and the importance of practical, preventative habits in shared workspaces. One of my favorite elements in this course is the interactive slider, which visually reinforces the areas most often missed during handwashing—a simple but powerful awareness tool.

What This Training Supports

  • Practicing preventative hygiene methods to reduce illness transmission

  • Actively maintaining frequently touched common areas (card readers, cash registers, kiosks, etc.)

  • Building awareness of everyday habits that contribute to a healthier workplace

First-Time Turkey Chef

An Interactive Resource for Gobble Farms Customers 

In this hypothetical scenario, the Gobble Farms Marketing Department needed an engaging resource to support first-time turkey chefs. The course was designed to be accessed easily via QR codes printed directly on turkey tags—making support available right in the kitchen.

 

Because this was a marketing-driven initiative, brand presence mattered. I used stock photography and Photoshop to create cohesive imagery and mockups so the Gobble Farms identity carried consistently throughout the experience. This course was built in Articulate Storyline 360 and includes, click-to-reveal interactions, an interactive dial for calculating cooking time, Light animation throughout—including their turkey mascot. Animating the mascot added personality and warmth while keeping the focus on practical, usable guidance.

What This Training Supports

  • Preparing a turkey using safe handling practices

  • Seasoning with confidence and flexibility

  • Accurately calculating cook time

  • Troubleshooting common cooking challenges

 

This project blends instructional clarity with brand storytelling—meeting customers where they are and giving them confidence in a high-pressure, once-a-year cooking moment.
