Challenge: Effectively introducing complex course scenarios and engaging learners with static content is a common challenge, often hindering comprehension and relevance for subsequent modules.

Solution: I designed and developed an animated explainer video using Adobe Illustrator for custom visuals and Camtasia for animation. This visually engaging approach clearly and concisely sets up the course scenario, immersing learners in a relatable context from the outset.

Growth: This project further honed my skills in Adobe Illustrator, allowing me to create more custom, unique graphics that significantly elevate the visual quality and originality of my animated explainer videos.

• Challenge: Traditional instructional methods often struggle to engage diverse employees with varying levels of prior knowledge.

• Solution: I utilize animated explainer videos to break down complex concepts into engaging and accessible content.

• Growth: My first professional use of Vyond taught me the value of creative scene transitions and incorporating custom graphics to elevate standard training.

For this week's challenge, I found an opportunity to learn more about making Storyline content accessible to everyone and to share that knowledge while I'm at it. 

• Challenge: As someone who makes a lot of proprietary how-to videos, I aimed to showcase my video production abilities while still offering valuable insights to a broader range of viewers.

• Solution: To achieve this, I decided to use a Storyline project I had previously developed for a different challenge as the focal point of my video demonstration.

• Growth: I thought I knew how to make my Storyline projects more accessible, but there was a better practice. This is also my first upload to YouTube, so I learned about incorporating captions to ensure the accessibility of my video content.
