Design Process for New Employee Pre-Training with Branching Scenario eLearning
Design Document (Including Outline and Flowchart)
For this, it will be enough to just have basics—purpose, audience, objectives. I don’t need a whole design doc, as a long one like this is more associated w/ academia.

For the Mill Valley Pasta Co. eLearning pre-training, I conducted a usability test to ensure the training would be both accessible and user-friendly for the intended learners. The test, which a peer helped me to complete, focused on evaluating the ease of navigation, effectiveness of instructional strategies, and overall user experience, with special attention given to how well the content—including assessments and the social presence of the virtual guide, Tim— supported learner engagement and understanding. The feedback I received was crucial for refining the course—making adjustments to enhance accessibility, improving navigation, and ensuring that assessments functioned as intended.

This eLearning module is the end product of an iterative instructional-design process. Its design is based upon established instructional design and pedagogical principles, such as schema theory and Clark and Mayer’s multimedia principle.
