My Contributions
-
I conducted focus groups with educators and advisors to identify their specific training needs and learning preferences. I used these insights to determine which skills would be most effectively taught through microlearning videos.
-
I created a content structure that would deliver bite-sized, actionable skills training in an engaging format. I wrote scripts for the microlearning videos based on our analysis findings and help conceptualize the learning platform.
-
I hired talent and oversaw the filming of all microlearning videos to ensure quality and consistency. I coordinated the technical development of the platform that would host these videos and provide a seamless learning experience.
-
I managed the roll-out of the training platform, ensuring all technical aspects functioned properly and content was accessible to all educators. I provided necessary support materials and guidance to help users navigate and maximize the microlearning experience.
-
I coordinated both an in-person randomized controlled trial (RTC) and a mock classroom RCT with actors to measure the training's effectiveness. I analyzed the results to identify strengths and areas for improvement, making data-driven adjustments to optimize the training's impact.
