02Training context and learning goals

Source materials

This module adapts training materials and manufacturing incident records from Lenzing, a multinational fiber manufacturer where I previously interned.

Course background

Lenzing’s Gear Project addressed communication barriers between production and maintenance through cross-functional learning. Its materials identified needs around describing equipment faults and preparing maintenance notifications. I selected this reporting task for a focused Storyline module, using a separate manufacturing incident report to build the practice scenario.

English adaptation of a drawing-roller fiber-wrapping incident record for March–April 2026, with dated findings and selected March incident counts. The record does not show that repair was completed.

Learning objectives

  1. Describe the issue

    Use supported equipment details, reporting period, and incident counts.

  2. Separate facts from assumptions

    Distinguish confirmed information from unverified explanations.

  3. Update the handoff

    Incorporate inspection findings without overstating repair or follow-up status.

03Planning the learning experience

Before development, I drafted a rough course outline to organize the reporting task and sketched separate screen-by-screen wireframes to plan the sequence, layouts, and interactions. These artifacts guided development as I revised and refined selected activities during the Storyline build.

Finished learner journey

  1. Review the incident
  2. Make reporting decisions
  3. Examine a model handoff
  4. Practice an update
  5. Review the process
  6. Apply it to a new incident

04Two design decisions and revisions

Make the handoff structure visible

Learners have identified supported facts and uncertain claims. Next, they need to see how those decisions fit into a complete maintenance handoff.

Wireframe

Final interaction

What changed

I replaced another scenario, a blank-form walkthrough, and additional questions with a completed model handoff and five numbered click-to-reveal explanations.

Why

The worked example connects individual reporting decisions to a complete handoff, giving learners a reference before they practice updating it.

Add practice for organizing an update

An inspection email introduces new findings, while repair status remains unconfirmed. Learners must decide what can be added and where it belongs.

Final interaction

Inspection-update question and feedback, followed by drag-and-drop practice.

What changed

I retained the multiple-choice update question and explanatory feedback, then added a three-card drag-and-drop activity.

Why

The question checks which update is justified. The drag-and-drop activity then asks learners to organize that information into the appropriate handoff fields before the final assessment.

05Visual design and Storyline implementation

I used Figma to prepare visual components and Storyline 360 to build the course interactions. This example shows the transition from a visual draft to its implementation in the course.

06Assessment, learner support, and publishing

Apply the process to a new incident

A captioned HeyGen briefing introduces a different equipment incident. Learners select supplied entries to assemble a five-field maintenance handoff, applying the reporting process beyond the guided example.

  2. Timeline
  3. Inspection finding
  4. Completed action
  5. Status/follow-up

Scoring and feedback

Each correct field contributes 20 points, with a passing threshold of 80/100. Unanswered fields prompt completion before scoring. Completed responses receive a score and feedback, followed by continuation after passing or another attempt below the threshold.

Incomplete

One or more fields unanswered

Complete missing fields before scoring.

Pass

All fields answered; score at least 80/100

View results and continue.

Retry

All fields answered; score below 80/100

View feedback and try again.

Assessment alignment

Learning objective Assessment evidence
Describe the issue Equipment/issue and timeline selections; incident counts are checked in earlier practice.
Separate facts from assumptions Inspection finding, completed action, and status/follow-up selections distinguish confirmed information from unsupported claims.
Update the handoff The five-field response organizes incident and inspection information into a structured handoff.

The assessment checks selection and organization of supplied information; it does not independently assess free-form handoff writing.

Learner support

  • Narration
  • Player audio controls
  • Slide notes
  • Assessment-video captions and replay

These features help learners access and revisit the course information.

Publishing and testing

I published the course as a SCORM 1.2 package and uploaded it to SCORM Cloud for testing.

07Project takeaways

This project brought together multimedia production, deliberate practice sequencing, and design choices for busy production staff. I also explored SCORM publishing to test how the course could support LMS tracking.

  1. NOTE 01

    Match the medium to the task

    I used email and incident records to establish the workplace scenario, click-to-reveal explanations to unpack a model handoff, and a video briefing to introduce a new incident.

  2. NOTE 02

    Build for tracking

    I intentionally published a SCORM 1.2 package and uploaded it to SCORM Cloud to explore LMS tracking of learner results.

  3. NOTE 03

    Practice judgment, then organization

    Learners first decide which information is supported, then practice placing it into the appropriate handoff fields.

  4. NOTE 04

    Respect learners’ workload

    For busy production staff, I used supplied choices in the final assessment to focus effort on reporting decisions and reduce typing demands. This checks selection and organization rather than independent writing.
