The Problem

This required training for fiscal employees needed to move online to meet staffing needs, but the live format and sheer volume of content made a direct conversion impractical.

Design Story

I gathered handouts, slide decks, and training recordings, then partnered with SMEs to validate and refine the content into a comprehensive online module. The Pro3 conversion approach was co-developed with a colleague, Kandice.

Complexity

The live session ran three hours of dense material. I synthesized and prioritized the essentials into a 90-minute course that's complete, accessible, and engaging for thousands of learners.

Design for breadth and clarity — prioritize what every fiscal employee must understand over role-specific depth, and shape a 90-minute path that respects attention and accessibility, with frequent checks to sustain engagement.

The Designed Solution

A 90-minute Storyline 360 course that fully replaces the live training and serves as a durable reference, with the material chunked into “Allowable,” “Reasonable,” and “The Why.”

Design Decisions

  • Compiled and summarized existing materials into a thorough topic analysis, then reduced to essentials.
  • Used AI to synthesize information and accelerate drafting (ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, the Articulate AI Assistant).
  • Kept it engaging and accessible with knowledge checks, video, click-to-interact elements, and branching scenarios — all under strict WCAG compliance.

The Result

A well-designed asynchronous course that saves time while giving learners the context they need to do their jobs well.

A course slide breaking purchases into Allowable, Reasonable, and the “Why.”
Interior lesson: Allowable, Reasonable, and the “Why.”
A scenario question about buying a space heater with university funds, with answer choices and feedback.
Scenario-based knowledge check grounded in real purchase decisions.

Impact

New and existing employees get 24/7 access to foundational training — freeing managers' time, reducing fiscal errors, and speeding up onboarding.

Outcome

A complete, engaging, accessible module; 163 learners to date, as part of the PRO3 Fiscal Certification.
