Project Overview: 

This project was a personal development project as I continued to grow in using the Articulate 360 suite. I love weather, and I know that many people who live in tornado alley struggle with understanding the difference between a watch and a warning and what to do in a given situation. I dug into what information the NWS/NOAA have on tornado safety and found their webpage: https://www.weather.gov/safety/tornado. 

​

The information on the webpage is fantastic; however, I felt people could benefit from scenario-based learning. To put themselves into a real-life situation, someone might experience during tornado season and have to think through how to remain safe. 

​

​

Analysis: 

For this project, I began by thinking of who my target audience is - Adults. Often with families, they want to protect and full schedules. I knew from this that I wanted this training to be short and sweet, touch on critical points and be impactful. 

​

I then developed objectives for the session. 

1.  Explain what a tornado is and why they are dangerous. 

2. Identify ways to prepare for a tornado 

3. Recall what to do in tornado if you are in a car or house to stay safe.

​

​

Design:

After the Analysis phase, I moved on to the design phase. In this stage, I started to draft out my storyboard based on information I had from the NWS website and the objectives I selected, and the assessments / activities I wanted the learner to have. I knew from the analysis phase that these activities needed to fit an adult learners needs to: allow the learner to pull in prior knowledge, solve problems, and make it applicable to their everyday lives.

Because my learners are anticipated to be adults, I included scenario based learning and personal reflections within this course.

​

 

Develop:

Once I had my storyboard completed, I was able to develop my course in Articulate Storyline.

Evaluation / Implementation 

Because this course never went live, I did not have an opportunity to evaluate or implement it.
