My instructional design work is structured with common frameworks such as the ADDIE model, UDL, and backwards design. I also pay extra attention to ways that I can make learning experiences accessible to learners who are neurodiverse, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural.
Cybersecurity Awareness Training: Identifying Phishing Scams
This interactive, scenario-based eLearning module is designed to help employees recognize and respond to phishing emails in a corporate environment. Learners take on the role of a project manager navigating a simulated inbox, making real-time decisions about whether to report, ignore, or interact with suspicious messages.
​
This training was developed using scenario-based learning principles to increase engagement and real-world application. Learners receive immediate, in-context feedback via simulated IT response emails, helping them reflect on their decisions and build better security habits. A supporting job aid reinforces key phishing red flags and provides ongoing support after the training is complete.
