The project was created for a medical device company as the Capstone Project for my Master's Degree. The goal of this training was to provide an environment which would boost both the learner's skills and confidence, through repetition, practice, and review. The PowerPoint video below quickly explains the problem being faced by the company, the learning solution I designed, and the process of evaluation used to determine success of the training.

This learning solution needed to be an hour of training designed for a diverse audience, in terms of age and English language skills.
The design of this learning solution focused on segmented learning and lots of opportunity to practice. It incorporated both Cognitive Learning Theory providing lots of opportunities for learners to connect what they were learning with their previous knowledge and also provided extensive real-world learning situations, implementing tenets of Constructivist Learning Theory.
First, an in-depth analysis was completed, looking at the problem that existed within the company, the learners who would be involved in the training, and the context in which the learning solution would be developed. After, an initial proposal followed by an in-depth design report were created and approved. The deliverables were storyboarded and developed over the course of four months. User testing was completed during the design process to inform alterations as the deliverables were being completed. Once the content was finished, the learning solution has a test run on a pilot group of learners before a wider-launch.
In order to assess the success of the learning solution, a full evaluation was completed on this project. A t-test was performed on the pilot group using a control group and an experimental group. Through analysis, it was determined that there was practically significant difference between the two groups' final scores which determined that learning did take place and the learning solution was effective.
