Challenge:
Recently, I needed to refine details about learner retention for a client, and found myself searching through templates and resources.
Tools: GitHub, Google Sheets
My Role: Instructional Designer
Solution:
I created this Instructional Design Dashboard as a single interface to provide clean, accessible templates for multiple instructional design models (ADDIE, SAM, Merrill’s, Bloom's, etc.). It allows me to instantly access, compare, and apply different methodologies without searching through multiple files and folders.
Showcase: Learner Retention Template:
The Learner Retention Framework template is a science-based tool that guides designers to build and evaluate courses, ensuring the training supports memory encoding, active recall, reinforcement, and behavior change.
Pros
Direct access to models via a sleek tab system.
Clean, readable templates ready for download.
Consistent design and easy navigation.
Efficient, time-saving workflow for instructional design.
Cons
My limited programming experience meant achieving a polished, fully interactive design took longer than expected.
For users unfamiliar with instructional design, the variety of models could feel overwhelming without clear guidance.
