Sharing proven L&D strategies and success stories is what the Learning Guild community is all about. That’s why each year, practitioners are given the opportunity to showcase their real-life learning projects during DemoFest at DevLearn.
Here’s a look at some of the projects that were shared during DevLearn last month:
Immersive
- An Instructional Designer from Houston Methodist Hospital showcased a course that uses pictures and video to explore the hospital’s new crash cart. The course culminates in an immersive quiz designed to simulate urgency in locating items on a crash cart in a real-world situation.
- The Tech Curriculum Designer at Boston Scientific presented a virtual reality experience for a stent and electric cautery delivery system designed to enhance procedural awareness and clinical decision-making.
- At Ninja Tropic eLearning they built immersive cities using Storyline 360 and shared with attendees how tools like 360-degree image function could be used for virtual exploration in e-learning.
- Developers at Bluewater Learning built a retract simulation for a car wash company, teaching new employees how to set the computer to avoid vehicle damage
Games and Gamification
- eLearning Design Developers from The Nature Conservancy presented their Walk of Life game to demonstrate equity vs. equality in conservation activities. In this unique activity, learners receive a character and are presented with conservation opportunities and obstacles based on the character they choose.
- L&D professionals from Delta Airlines showcased two instructor-led classroom games that they created using Storyline.
- Artha Learning Inc. shared “Outbreak,” a gamified learning experience for nurse practitioners to triage patients in high-pressure situations
AI
- A graduate student at Commonwealth University presented “The Agency Algorithm,” a project on artificial intelligence and moral decision-making in medical triage, algorithmic warfare, and surveillance
- Third Term Learning turned an in-person training on SWOT analyses usually done with partners into a gamified solution where the learner works with AI agents instead of partners to practice creating a SWOT analysis.
- By incorporating AI and custom code in Storyline, The Learning Camel & EngageTrainBrain built a course for their client on “relationship fitness” based on Harvard’s happiness study.
Personalized Learning
- Two managers from IHG’s learning team showcased their luxury and lifestyle loyalty course, which was developed in HTML and wrapped in Storyline to track completion. This exciting course features 104 personalized pathways and 13 different languages.
Video
- The Compliance Training Associate at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey showcased the hybrid live-action and animated musical video they made to deliver training content through songs.
