eLearning Design
This page brings together a selection of self-paced eLearning projects designed and built in Rise 360.
The courses span accessibility, digital design skills and academic integrity. They were created for higher education audiences with varied confidence, time and accessibility needs.
I wanted to design learning that supported understanding and decision-making. Across these projects, I focussed on building clarity for learners and scaffolding their progression, through practical application, branching scenarios and visual aids.
These courses were developed within the constraints typical of higher education: limited learner time, mixed digital confidence, accessibility requirements, and the need for content to work across devices.
Introduction to Adobe InDesign
Audience
Students and staff with access to Adobe InDesign who wanted to develop practical design skills for academic work and employability.
Challenge
The organisation held a licence for Adobe CC, but uptake was low and many students and staff lacked the confidence to use the software effectively or articulate these skills for their CVs.
Design Opportunity I designed a structured, chapter-based eLearning programme grounded in core design principles such as visual hierarchy, contrast and layout, combining guided video content with real-time practice.
The course formed part of a blended learning approach, working alongside a series of in-person workshops to scaffold learners from foundational concepts through to confident application.
Accessibility Basics
Audience
Part of new staff onboarding training. Professional services and support staff creating documents and presentations for internal and external use.
Challenge
Staff needed practical accessibility skills for everyday tools (Word and PowerPoint), alongside a clear understanding of why accessibility matters.
Design Opportunity I designed a short, scenario-led eLearning course introducing core accessibility principles, with guided practice using a real document learners make accessible within their own workflow.
Academic Misconduct Procedure
Audience
Part of academic staff onboarding. Academic and professional services staff involved in advising students or supporting academic integrity processes.
Challenge
The academic misconduct process was perceived as complex and intimidating. This lead to lots of uncertainty about responsibilities, escalation routes and appropriate decision-making.
Design Opportunity
I designed a scenario-led eLearning course that walks learners through the process step by step, using realistic cases to clarify roles, reduce ambiguity and support confident, policy-aligned decisions.
Designing Posters & Presentations
Audience
Students and staff creating posters and presentations for academic communication and assessment.
Challenge
Many learners were confident using presentation tools but struggled with visual hierarchy, layout and clarity, resulting in work that communicated information but not effectively.
Design Opportunity
I designed a practical eLearning course focused on core design principles and visual communication, helping learners apply simple, repeatable approaches to improve posters and presentations across different contexts.
