The Concept
In Tim Slade‘s eLearning Designer’s Academy, we were challenged to recreate a PowerPoint training on Human Resources hiring best practices. Tim provided us 3 slides to use as our starting point with the option to focus on one, two, or all 3 slides in our project.
The slides were quite bland and needed a lot of work. With my background in Human Resources, I couldn't resist using all three and giving them a grand makeover!
The Process
Take a look at the original slides. I wasn't lying when I said they were bland!
I chose to add a lot of color. All graphics were created in Canva. I sourced audio and sound effects from Envato Elements to create more depth and character for the project.
For the audio, I used my voice and the voice of my friend, Adil. I used Audacity to record and edit my narration, as well as to edit the audio files Adil provided.
Finally, I incorporated interactivity to actively engage learners versus putting them to sleep with dull training. Come on, we’ve all been there!
The Result
During Tim's live review of my project, he applauded my focus on diversity and inclusion beyond just the imagery used. He commended my incorporation of a non-native English speaker as the voice for the man in my project, something he felt was rarely discussed or practiced within eLearning circles.
