Articulate Storyline Project and Samples

With Articulate Storyline, I design dynamic and accessible courses that transform complex content into interactive, learner-centered experiences.

Selected Works

Sample 1 description

Escape Room Using Variables 

An interactive escape room in Articulate Storyline where learners solve cybercrime scenarios through Q&A in a 360° environment. Gamified problem-solving, branching feedback, and immersive visuals reinforce core cybersecurity concepts.

Sample 2 description

The Zodiac KIller

An interactive timeline in Articulate Storyline that explores key events of the Zodiac Killer case. Clickable dates, multimedia, and layered content model how timelines can make complex information engaging and accessible.

Interactive activity on sperm analysis and the male reproductive system.

Use of Drag and Drop

This activity on the male reproductive system demonstrates drag-and-drop design. While engaging, drag-and-drop is not fully 508 compliant, so I recommend alternatives like the diagram I created for the Well Woman Exam (bleow) activity to ensure accessibility.

A Tutorial: How to make animals talk

Using Vyond and Articulate Storyline 360  together, I created  examples and a  "how to" tutorial illustrating how to make inanimate objects and animals talk.

Sample 5 description

The Lindberg Kidnapping

This interactive project explores the Lindbergh kidnapping through branched scenarios, categorized content, and layered graphics. The design guides learners through the case from multiple perspectives, providing a comprehensive account while modeling how branching and visual storytelling can be used to organize complex historical events.

The Well Woman Exam

This Storyline activity integrates video and an interactive diagram of the female reproductive system. The design highlights the need for sensitivity and respect during wellness exams, with attention to diversity, cultural awareness, and the unique experiences of each woman.

Designer Notes

As a senior instructional designer, I believe learning experiences should do more than present content—they must communicate meaning with clarity, empathy, and purpose. My philosophy is grounded in visual literacy, the ability to interpret and convey context through imagery. Much like children’s picture books use visuals to tell a story, I design with the understanding that images are not decoration but a language of learning that enhances comprehension and supports long-term memory.

Research shows the brain processes images in milliseconds, retains them more deeply than text, and uses them to form lasting memory pathways. With this in mind, I employ tools such as Articulate Storyline, interactive diagrams, video, branching scenarios, and layered graphics to connect learners with complex content. For example, the Lindbergh kidnapping project uses categories and branches to help learners navigate multiple perspectives in a historical case, while the Well Woman activity integrates video and interactive visuals to emphasize sensitivity, cultural awareness, and respect in a healthcare context. Both projects illustrate my approach: design that uses imagery as a conduit for deeper understanding while maintaining empathy for the subject matter.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to accessibility, sensitivity, and cultural inclusion. I always let the content and context drive the design, ensuring activities are not only visually engaging but also accessible to diverse learners and aligned with universal design principles. Whether adapting drag-and-drop into more inclusive formats, or weaving diversity and sensitivity into medical simulations, I balance creative problem-solving with the responsibility to design experiences that respect every learner.

By drawing on a flexible toolkit—Storyline for interactivity, Vyond for animated storytelling, Camtasia for video, and Adobe Creative Cloud for custom graphics — I create instructional designs that are innovative, inclusive, and deeply human.
