Problem and Solution
As more of our work takes place online, it is essential that users are equipped with the knowledge and awareness needed to stay safe. Without proper training, individuals may unknowingly expose their organisation and personal information to cyber threats.
I designed and developed this eLearning module to build awareness of common cyber-attacks and help users recognise potential risks. The module provides clear strategies and practical recommendations to support safer online working and reduce vulnerability to cyber threats.
Process
I started by conducting in-depth research using trusted government sources and cybersecurity publications. From this, I developed a concept map to guide the structure of the training. The map included a clear problem statement and defined performance goals to ensure the learning outcomes were focused and measurable.
Next, I created a text-based storyboard, using the research and concept map as a foundation. This approach helped me prioritise and refine the written content, ensuring accuracy and highlighting the most critical information early in the learner journey. To enhance engagement, I also incorporated ideas for interactive elements, knowledge checks, and multimedia features.
I approached the design process with flexibility in mind. While the core structure was outlined in the storyboard, many visual and interactive components were developed and iterated during the build phase to allow for continuous improvement and responsiveness to feedback.
Full Development
Using Articulate Rise 360, I designed and developed the full module, continuously refining the layout, structure, and user flow to enhance clarity and ease of use. I applied core visual design principles including contrast, alignment, proximity, white space, balance, and repetition to create a clean, engaging interface that supported learning without overwhelming the user.
While the module covers detailed content, I was careful to ensure it remained accessible and engaging throughout. Guided by the ADDIE model, I iterated through each stage of the process: design, development, and evaluation, until I was confident in the overall look, feel, and effectiveness of the final learning experience.
Feedback
Although this was a concept project, my goal was to practise and strengthen my instructional design skills using Rise 360. I shared the module with a select group of professionals on LinkedIn whose roles aligned with the training topic. Based on their feedback, I made a few additional adjustments to improve the flow and navigation.
Overall, the response was very positive. Reviewers highlighted the effective use of media and interactive elements, noting that these features created an engaging and enjoyable learning experience.
