The Agency Algorithm
Hi all! With an academic background in both Ethics and Instructional Design, I’ve always believed learning can immerse us in thought experiments that challenge assumptions and sharpen critical thinking.
The Agency Algorithm explores how AI systems leveraged in contexts like medical triage, surveillance, and beyond can reshape (and even diminish) human agency. By placing learners in these complex scenarios, my project aims to highlight the ethical stakes of algorithmic decision-making and the risks of prioritizing efficiency over empathy.
I wanted to push the boundaries of eLearning aesthetics to create a modern, engaging course that asks big questions about our agency in a time of rapidly advancing technology.
This project won Best Soft Skills at DevLearn last month, and I am excited to continue building sleek, mind-bending courses to get learners thinking critically!

I'd love to get some feedback so I can continue building on my skills as a designer and developer!

Thank you, Abigail.
Your design in The Agency Algorithm is simply magnificent. I love your navigation in the module. Well done!Thank you Emmanuel_Kegler! I've had so much fun working on this passion project.
Wonderful. How this is being built?
Thank you! I built this using stock graphics, Adobe Dimension to render and mod lighting/positioning of the visuals, and of course Storyline! I used a lot of custom states as well throughout this project.
