Course Walkthrough (Canva)

Recorded walkthrough highlighting microlearning structure, visual design, and performance-support focus

Design Approach

• 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

• Mobile-friendly layout to support flexible, on-the-go access

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.
