This month we’re spotlighting submissions across several eLearning Challenges that, when combined together, make an onboarding experience. These examples show how a variety of techniques can create memorable and easily referenced guides to simplify the fire hose of information that accompanies onboarding.
Mix and match these examples for your specific use case if you’d like to give it a try, and be sure to comment below with what inspired you!
A Blueprint for Day One and Beyond by SMcNicol
Designed as a leave behind for after an interview, this course shows not only what an interviewee could use as a pitch for their first months in a job, but a clean and organized method for general 30/60/90 day plans.
💡Inspiration to take:
- How to use what Shannon describes as an “AI assisted workflow” to tailor plans and content
- Layered descriptions of not only what a process looks like, but concrete tactics for success
Who is behind the scenes? By Kate_Golomshtok
A bright example of vector image use, this submission shows a quick and memorable way to introduce different team roles. This approach makes it easy to understand the division of responsibilities in complex teams or projects.
💡Inspiration to take:
- Vector images that clarify tool use and positions for projects that could be confusing at first glance
- An “insider” approach to content presentation that includes field specific lingo
Data Security Training by BrilliantTeams
Submitted as part of the accordion interaction challenge, this submission shows how to make compliance training into an easily referenceable tool. New team members can easily dig down into more detail, while keeping high level information such as common initialisms above the fold.
💡Inspiration to take:
- Compliance training is notoriously a slog, so use engaging interactions to break up detail heavy content
- Stack information with the rationale behind it to help contextualize the “why” of procedures
Meet the Team by AsweniGD
Just what it says on the tin, this team introduction is a new team members’ dream for understanding organizational flow, titles, and personalities. Between the color coded org chart and detail on responsibilities this would help new hires understand who to ask what, when.
💡Inspiration to take:
- The morph transition makes for a clean transition from contextualized visuals to greater detail information
- Embrace color coded visuals to leave more room for what Ash describes as “human centered” introductions
