Final Project

These last few weeks have given me the opportunity to put together a final project that is a mix of declarative and procedural knowledge, and includes a branched scenario. My last project was on a similar topic, focusing more on preventative behaviors to avoid venomous snake bites. This time I wanted to expand on the subject to create a supplemental learning on "what if" you were bitten by a snake, and what to do.

This topic is fitting for an e-learning scenario because it provides a safe space to explore the scenario without having to actually experience the real thing. My target audience was outdoor volunteers for a fictitious agency, but could easily be applied to anyone that may be outdoors in the region mentioned (Southern Appalachia).

I started the process by creating a flowchart of general ideas and structure, and filled in details of the scenario here. I then converted that to a storyboard and fleshed out more of the details before starting to build the course. I used a template for Rise 360 storyboarding that was made available earlier in the semester to students.

Final thoughts

This was a very fun and educational experience for me, and allowed me to play with Articulate Rise and get comfortable with it. I appreciate the uniformity of this tool and tried out several of their interactive blocks to see how they worked and interacted with the user.

This project really had me appreciating a storyboard, as there were many times I went to change something around or accidentally deleted, but thankfully the information was backed up in the storyboard.
