Multiphase metering e-Learning

Problem:

Metering experts in the client company were not familiar with the difficulties in measuring water, liquid, and gas mixtures, resulting in a poor product design that did not meet the goals of the project. It was decided that the company would resell other companies’ products instead of developing their own, but their technical people still needed to learn about the operating principles behind these devices in order to recommend an appropriate product for customers. I was asked to work with a subject matter expert to create multimedia, interactive courses on multiphase metering concepts and products.

Tools used:

iSpring LMS, Articulate, Adobe Animate, MS PowerPoint

Outcome:

Audiences had positive feedback about the branching and interactive components of the course.

New hire on-boarding e-Learning

Problem:

The client company works with multiple subcontractors on different projects and found that, while the project team members were experts in their respective fields, they didn’t always feel comfortable with computer tools and particularly new software they hadn’t used before. Since the consultants were collaborating from diverse locations in the world across many time zones, electronic collaboration was key to project success. Consequently, I was asked to create a series of interactive onboarding modules to help new team members get up to speed on the tools they needed to use.

Tools:

Screencasting, trello, dropbox, Adobe Audition, MS PowerPoint, iSpring LMS

Outcome:

Feedback from users is pre- and post-surveys demonstrate that the training was highly effective. Also, follow-up interviews with stakeholders showed that the on-boarding was successful – new contractors were using the software appropriately without needing extra support.
