Microlearning format designed for quick consumption and immediate use
Checklist-driven structure to support task completion and reduce overwhelm
Controlled pacing and minimal animation to manage cognitive load
Plain-language content to ensure accessibility across experience levels

Key Design Decisions
Canva selected for rapid development, visual consistency, and ease of updates by non-technical stakeholders
Limited animation and transitions used intentionally to maintain focus and clarity
Visual hierarchy prioritized to support scanning and self-directed navigation
Performance-support framing emphasized over instructional depth to encourage action
Design Reflection
This project strengthened my ability to design clear, accessible microlearning solutions for public-facing audiences with diverse needs and constraints. It reinforced the value of pairing concise content with strong visual structure to support confidence, momentum, and real-world application—particularly in community and workforce-development contexts.
Project Summary
This self-paced microlearning experience introduces learners to foundational job search strategies, including goal setting, personal branding, networking, resume development, and interview preparation.
The module emphasizes practical next steps rather than exhaustive instruction, allowing learners to quickly identify priorities, build confidence, and take action. Content is intentionally structured for just-in-time access, supporting learners who may be balancing employment, caregiving, or other constraints.
