Newbie...Looking for ideas to create a toolkit

Hi Ahley

you could have an illustrated image of an office with different departments they click on - like navigating through the physical - 'let me show you around'. If you look in the downloads section of this forum you should see some great examples.

Hi Ashley,

Just piggybacking on Wendy's idea, Storyline has markers you can use (which I've done in the past for HR training). For example, if the HR department is in a different location or building, you can use a map and markers to illustrate not only where the physical location is, but then also take the learners where your content can reside for each tab/folder you have.

Another option might be breaking things up by task group...

• Here are the tools you will need to become familiar with your role. These  include job description, org charts, et al
• Over here are the common tools for navigating around our facility including maps, parking rules, et al
• etc

You get the idea.  Depending on how formal your organizational culture is, this can be a great choice as new folks don't always remember what's an HR function vs whats a Payroll function for example.  Hence they forget where to look/ask.

If it is just a list of links to other documents perhaps an image of a compendium with the links written out on the notepad side with relevant headings breaking them up would be sufficient?

Thanks for all the great ideas! Our team is also working on an orientation module for students...totally different content, but we're using an avatar ("Buddy") to guide them through the material & activities.  I'm thinking a similar concept would work here.  Also, using the image of a binder and/or file folders for each topic area.  I think the majority of new leaders are promoted from within, but I like the inclusion of maps & other navigational information for those that aren't.  The rest of the material is pretty high level...here's why you need XYZ and here's where you go to find it (either link or contact person/department).

Is there a template that you recommend to get me started?

There are a number of folder style templates in the downloads section. I would recommend finding a few templates you like and then pulling them together and branding etc to give a consistent look and feel.
