Let’s start with some e-learning courses…

These first examples are from a suite of staff induction modules that we developed for Thames Water. We came up with the idea of Thames Town, where new employees embark on an exploration of content to learn more about who Thames Water are, what they do and their history.

About Thames Town
The learners make 9 stops in Thames town, visiting different buildings and parts of it. Each building is associated with a specific topic/module and the staff have to complete all modules linearly, while interacting with the virtual space. For example, the first module takes place in the town hall, where the learners get introduced to who Thames Water are. Therefore, we ask them to sign in to ‘enter’ the building at the beginning and then we take them on a virtual walk around the different rooms of the town hall. We provide them with a day plan/agenda, so that they know what to expect in their learning journey. When the module is over, the learners sign out and head to another destination within the town.

Their next stop is, Module 2, which is about health and safety, so it takes place at a Thames Water depot. The learner again is invited to travel to the depot, speak to people and interact with them. They are given a floor plan, so that they know where they should go, and they are invited to play mini-games like ‘spot the hazards’ or ‘dress the model with the correct protective equipment’.

There’s a lot more to discuss about this suite of modules, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Thames Water Manager Essentials

While at Omniplex, I also designed some training for managers, for which the brief was not as creative. ‘Managing Performance Development Reviews‘ was one of those modules. It contained a lot of important content, which we tried to pass to managers in a structured but playful way. All of the Thames Water courses were designed to be accessible with assistive voiceover and other back-end accessibility features.

Let me show you some of my storyboards for instructional videos…

Fitch Learning Storyboards

Fitch Learning has an online academy for financial/accountancy topics. I worked on a very tight deadline to turn a series of long video transcripts (3,000-12,000 words) from words into visual slides. These were then animated line by line, as the background lecture notes of Fitch Learning’s video lectures.

About the brief
The brief was very narrow in scope, and each script section had to be translated into one PowerPoint slide, irrespectively of how much content there was! The colour scheme and slide dimensions were also inherited by the brand guidelines, while the information had to be presented from left to right and from top to bottom. Please note that even though you will see the full slide, not all of it appeared at once in the video. Each segment of the slide was animated alongside the script, until the slide was complete.

I invite you to take a look at the script first before you see how I translated it into visuals.

Other Fitch Learning Storyboards

In addition to the large scripts above, I also worked on the development of short educational videos, which got built into Rise Courses for Fitch Learning. Below you can see some samples of these video storyboards and their finalised videos.

Finally, I developed creative ideas and robust learning proposals…

After consulting with clients and scoping the learning requirements, I was involved in the creation of proposals. My role was to come up with an exciting learning journey which would be founded on solid learning theory principles. Here are two extracts of the final proposals we sent out.
