Self-Paced Online Training

Seeing the Big Picture®

Designed First Generation Self-Paced Online Training

 

Overview:

Designed the first-ever Acumen Learning online offering, opening up a new revenue stream for the company and partnering with Thought Industries to create a world-class online training solution. The environment only continues to expand, from initially two courses to now more than 50 content items. Upon launch in 2019, free licenses were offered to get users onto the platform. Now, entire clients onboard whose only business is the online learning. Learner base has doubled over the last year with 16 active clients administered private licenses, ranging from 100 users per client to 1500 users per client.

Process:

• Defined, early on, that the learning flow for the course would follow a learn-retain-apply methodology

• Began with the end in mind – created placeholder pages upfront in public offering that can be customized to a particular audience or client

• Drafted content arc following the flow of the book, Seeing the Big Picture

• Designed new learner retention activities applicable to every concept offered in the book

• Authored all course quizzes and met regularly with leadership team in drafting the final exam

• Regularly submitted content reviews for accuracy and approval

• Managed the 2-person team to deploy the content, where I was individually responsible for 70% of production

• Scripted every video and every activity

• Produced and recorded voice-over audio

• Oversaw the entire production timeline in under 5 months and launched on-time

• Facilitated monthly content review meetings with senior leadership over the course of the first year following launch

• Continually implement revisions, updates, new offerings, new content as this part of the business expanded rapidly
