The Alzheimer’s Association wanted to raise awareness of dementia as a public health issue. They needed training that public health professionals could take, and that could also be used in college courses. The training had to support the Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) Road Map.
Partnered with the HBI team to design and develop a three-module series grounded in the three levels of prevention. Each module moved from action mapping to storyboard to build, with close client review at every stage.
Led a detailed action mapping exercise for each module.
Created storyboards that aligned each objective with its content, interactions, and visuals.
Built modules in Articulate Rise with embedded Storyline interactions.
Used animated scenarios that follow public health professionals as they apply the content in their communities.
Added interactive elements, including an animated timeline, drag-and-drop activities, an explorable community scene, and a game-board view of caregiving roles.
Translated research into visual data stories and real state examples to make the content relevant for practitioners.
Introduced a custom-coded journal so learners can capture reflections and print or save them. Rise does not offer this natively. The journal was developed with support from a colleague in the Articulate E-Learning Heroes community.
