Workplace Violence and Harassment – Game-Based Scenario
One of our recent projects involved developed a game-based, scenario-driven Custom eLearning Solution focused on Workplace Violence and Harassment Training. As part of our broader corporate training solutions and digital learning services, the goal was to move beyond traditional click-through compliance courses and create a learning experience where employees actively practice real-world decision-making. What we built: A scenario-driven course with 1–4 progressive levels Each level presents realistic workplace situations that require learner judgment Learners complete a knowledge check or quiz at the end of each level Successful completion unlocks a badge, reinforcing motivation and progression Why this project matters: Rather than relying on a traditional, click-through compliance approach, we designed this eLearning course to help learners practice real-world decision-making in a safe environment, supporting better recognition, prevention and response to workplace violence and harassment. Behind the scenes: Branching scenarios were designed to encourage reflection, not just right-or-wrong answers Feedback carefully crafted to explain why a response is appropriate Game mechanics were applied thoughtfully to maintain the seriousness of the topic What this project reinforced for us: When designed with intent, gamification can enhance engagement and retention, even for sensitive compliance topics. Tools used: Articulate Storyline 360 for course development Vyond for video creation Learning outcome: Participants will be able to identify, prevent and appropriately respond to workplace violence and harassment situations through practical, scenario-based decision-making.

Before I officially became an ID I worked in a job that encouraged self-learning and would give us time to take e-learning. One of the e-learning I became focused on was PowerPoint. This led to me making games in my free time one game was a Pirates adventure that I repurposed to be a trivia game for learning a new process at work. This was long before I became an ID but was laying the groundwork for this path. When I became an ID I was introduced to Storyline and was told it is PowerPoint on steroids. For my first couple week I was encouraged to play around, watch videos, come here and look at what other can and have done. I took that time to remake the game using Storyline and enhanced it with branching options. This is the result after those 2 weeks. I really wanted to see if my PowerPoint skills and translated to Storyline and see how I could push it. I thought I would share it and maybe inspire others I have been by this community. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/ba0f4bcc-5d69-4d22-9b6d-acb7c644c254/reviewFrom Motion Paths to Murder Mysteries: My 2024 E-Learning Adventure
When I started 2024 with a simple 0px motion path challenge, little did I know I'd end up orchestrating murder mysteries and guiding virtual safari adventures! What began as technical experimentation became a year of pushing creative boundaries and discovering new possibilities in e-learning design. Each challenge became a stepping stone to something more ambitious. From helping art lovers restore masterpieces in a forgotten gallery to creating an AI-powered pet adoption center, every project taught me something new. I found myself weaving stories, building immersive experiences, and even launching my own spooky podcast platform (Jay-tify, anyone?). Here's my journey through 2024's e-learning challenges, where every project started with "What if..." and ended with "Wow, I actually did that!" Challenge #445: How Can You Use This Motion Path Tip in Your E-Learning Projects? My first adventure began with "Guess Your Monthly Hydration," where I explored the innovative 0px length motion path technique. Drawing inspiration from David and Andreas Fischer's work, I created an interactive experience that made learning about hydration engaging and fun. View My Entry Challenge #447: Spotlight Masking Effects for Discovery Activities In "Ruined Gallery Adventure," I transformed learners into art enthusiasts exploring a forgotten sanctuary. Armed with just a torchlight, they discover and restore hidden masterpieces, bringing art back to life. This project combined technical masking effects with storytelling to create an immersive learning experience. View My Entry Challenge #448: Using Tabs Interactions in E-Learning Who says learning can't be delicious? I cooked up an interactive feast featuring 8 mouth-watering Indian recipes, all organized behind interactive tabs. This project combined my love for cooking with interactive design. View My Entry Challenge #452: Show How You're Using AI to Create E-Learning Courses Stepping into the future, I created the AI Pet Adoption Center. This project showcased the power of combining ChatGPT for content, Midjourney for lifelike pet images, and WellSaid Labs for natural AI voiceovers. View My Entry Challenge #454: Using Text, True/False, and Number Variables Talk about pressure! In this challenge, I created a high-stakes "Bomb Defusing Challenge" where learners must decode and make split-second decisions. It's amazing how variables can create such intense learning experiences! View My Entry Challenge #455: Asking vs. Telling: Creating Interactive E-Learning I tackled the age-old push vs. pull dilemma in e-learning through an innovative onboarding experience. By comparing traditional slides with interactive branching scenarios, I demonstrated how engagement can transform learning about company values. View My Entry Challenge #456: How Are Designers Using Phat Fonts in E-Learning? Who says fonts can't be fun? I created a spooky haunted mansion course where chunky fonts became part of the adventure, proving that typography can be both functional and entertaining. View My Entry Challenge #457: Mix and Match Your Own E-Learning Challenges A dream came true with this one! I finally brought my long-awaited murder mystery to life, combining elements from seven different challenges. This project showcases how different techniques can come together to create something truly unique. View My Entry Challenge #461: Audio Interviews with E-Learning Challenge Heroes Introducing Jay-tify! I created a simulated podcast platform where I shared my insights about participating in these challenges. It was a unique way to reflect on my e-learning journey. View My Entry Challenge #467: Creating Immersive Learning Experiences with 360° Images Ready for a safari? I took learners on a virtual animal adventure, proving that immersive learning can transport us anywhere. View My Entry Challenge #469: How I Became an E-Learning Instructional Designer I shared my personal journey from a Computer Science graduate in Chennai to a Learning Designer in Singapore, reflecting on a decade of growth and transformation in the field. View My Entry Looking back at these challenges, I'm amazed at how each one pushed me to explore new possibilities in e-learning design. From technical challenges to creative storytelling, from AI integration to immersive experiences, 2024 has been a year of growth, learning, and endless creativity. Here's to more adventures in 2025!
