Course Starter: Communicating with Clinical Sites
This course starter was designed as a template for training in a clinical operations setting. The topic focuses on effective communication with site coordinators during clinical trials, a frequent challenge in pharmaceutical development. The slides include an introduction, scenario-based interactions (multiple choice and drag-and-drop), and a short quiz with feedback. The content reflects real-world sponsor-site dynamics and uses custom visuals and interactive triggers to enhance learner engagement. hCourse Starter: Communication with Clinical SitesRISE Course Starter Using Pantone Cloud Dancer
Hello everyone, For challenge #535, I’ve been experimenting with colour combinations while staying true to the lesson’s theme. I focused on various text features, keeping things simple and easy on the eyes. To create a pleasant visual palette, I chose soft shades with Cloud Dancer as the foundational colour. I’m excited about the possibility of further developing this course and making it more engaging with fun activities. I would really appreciate any feedback on my initial work!

Pantone Challenges are my opportunity to explore the new Color of the Year and the curated palette suggestions that come with it. The 2026 Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer, has received some criticism for being perceived as a background color with little personality. However, since Pantone’s Color of the Year always reflects and highlights broader cultural and societal trends, Cloud Dancer makes a lot of sense—especially in the context of the rapid rise of AI and the growing importance of cloud-based technologies and storage. This started out of a bit of frustration — I wanted a simpler way to actually use the palettes in real projects. For this challenge, I built a small tool that lets users explore the palettes one by one and, if needed, copy approximate HEX values of the Pantone swatches directly to the clipboard. This makes it easier to create theme colors, style guides, and design systems for digital projects. This tool is a work in progress, and feedback is very welcome—especially suggestions related to usability and accessibility. Review Link: Cloud Dancer ExplorerRISKY RICK

For this OSHA eLearning Challenge, I wanted to move away from a traditional “click-next” compliance experience and explore a more cinematic, behaviour-driven approach to warehouse safety training. Rather than focusing purely on rules and hazard identification, I built the concept around a character called “Risky Rick”, an experienced warehouse operative whose confidence and familiarity with the environment lead to unsafe decisions and shortcuts. The experience begins with a fast-paced montage sequence showing Rick carrying out increasingly risky behaviours across a warehouse setting, including: overreaching from a ladder dropping boxes using a forklift without checking the environment properly creating trip hazards with pallet wrap mixing chemicals carelessly The intention was to make the learner feel like an observer watching unsafe behaviour escalate in real time, rather than simply being told what not to do. After the montage, the experience rewinds and breaks each scenario down using freeze-frame analysis interactions. Instead of using standard multiple-choice questions, I focused on three reflective lenses: OBSERVE: the behaviour or warning sign INTERVENE: the point where action should happen CULTURE SIGNAL: what the behaviour suggests about wider workplace norms and accepted risk Visually, I leaned heavily into a gritty, cinematic warehouse style using bold typography, industrial textures, high-contrast colour palettes, and dynamic OSHA-inspired graphics. The “Risky Rick” branding was designed to feel more like a behavioural safety campaign than a standard training course. From an instructional design perspective, the project explores how storytelling, character-driven scenarios, rewind analysis, and progressive reflection can create a more immersive and memorable learning experience around workplace safety and risk awareness.

Sharing a pretty basic example for this week’s eLearning Heroes Challenge. This one is a simple OSHA-related Lockout/Tagout course starter template built in Storyline. It includes a landing page, learning objectives slide, knowledge check template, and a flashcard activity. Nothing too wild or groundbreaking this time. I did not have much time this week, but I wanted to jump back into the challenges and start building the habit again. Sorry for being a little boring on this one. I promise I’ll try to get more creative going forward. For now, I’m just glad to be getting back into the rhythm. Check it out here!
