Tips to work efficiently from home
Context & Objectives:
In the backdrop of a seismic shift to remote work, I collaborated with a forward-thinking private client keen on ensuring his employees didn't just adapt, but thrived. Recognizing the potential challenges of the transition, the goal was clear: design an immersive course that not only offered practical insights into effective remote working but also engaged employees through gamified learning.
Design Process & Approach:
- Understanding the New Terrain: Beyond the logistics of remote work, it was crucial to comprehend the human element – the feelings, challenges, and nuances of working from home. This understanding was foundational in creating a course that was not just informative but empathetic.
- Scenario-Based Learning & Gamification: Harnessing the power of gamification, I introduced a unique aspect where employees could select a character to navigate through a virtual "work-from-home" world. Each decision they made progressed the story, offering a mix of challenges and scenarios that mirrored real-life remote work situations. Incorrect decisions provided valuable lessons, while right ones propelled the narrative forward, making learning organic and experience-driven.
- Interactive Design Elements:
- Dynamic Character Selection: Employees could choose from a diverse range of avatars, enhancing personal connection and engagement.
- Engaging Graphics & Animations: To bolster the gaming experience, the design included vivid graphics and smooth animations, capturing the essence of each scenario.
- Real-Time Feedback Mechanism: As participants made choices, immediate feedback was given, reinforcing learning outcomes and offering direction.
Outcome:
The final product was a dynamic, gamified course that resonated deeply with the employees, making the daunting transition to remote work both enjoyable and educational. The client was immensely pleased with the innovative approach, noting a marked increase in employee engagement and confidence in navigating their new work environment.

My Role and Contribution…
Collaborating closely with a Subject Matter Expert (SME), I meticulously designed an avant-garde, gamified course using Articulate, with the prime focus on easing the transition to remote work. As part of the creative process, Adobe Suite became an invaluable tool, allowing me to rapidly prototype and present visual concepts to the client, ensuring their vision was continuously aligned with the development trajectory. This immersive experience invited employees to navigate tangible work-from-home scenarios through a chosen avatar, every decision intricately shaping their virtual journey. By seamlessly blending rich graphics with an interactive narrative, the course epitomized the confluence of engagement and practical education. This initiative, bolstered by the expertise of the SME and the rapid prototyping capabilities of Adobe, not only garnered positive client feedback but also showcased the profound potential of scenario-based learning.
