Become a Safety Hero
Engaging, Microlearning Compliance Training
An Engaging Compliance Training
MeSure, a fictional insurance company, wanted to reimagine their company's semiannual compliance training. Become A Safety Hero takes compliance training into the hands of each of the 2000 individual employees at MeSure and allows them to earn safety badges one engaging microlearning module at a time.
Employees received one microlearning module a week, to be completed in a matter of minutes. The final module contains an assessment, with results forwarded to the professional learning team.
When employees complete all five microlearning modules, they will earn their Fire & Safety Hero Badge, one of five badges needed to become a MeSure Safety Hero. By completing this five-part series, employees will become knowledgeable about fire science and prevention, evacuation, and fire extinguishers.

The Process
When MeSure requested a more engaging, more interactive form of professional development for their semiannual compliance training, I had the idea to create a merit badge system. With this system, employees would earn a merit badge upon completion of each block of learning.
Because MeSure's biggest concern was engagement and breaking knowledge into bite-sized pieces, I chose to create microlearning modules that only take about five minutes each to complete. A weekly five-minute task will ensure that employees do not feel over-burdened and will keep learning succinct and focused.
With the format of the training decided, I chose Fire & Safety as the module to create. I began researching important facets of fire safety, including key measures offices should take to prevent fires as well as evacuate and extinguish them, if necessary. With the research complete, I devised an outline for the module and created visual aids using Adobe Illustrator.
To make sure modules did not become too monotonous, I decided to use the animation software Vyond for Module 3, Safe Evacuation. This was a new skill for me, and I enjoyed creating the 3-minute video.

Reflections
This was not the first time I made Become A Safety Hero. In my first go-round, I used a platform called IzEasy, which I chose because of its no-cost option. However, I found the platform too be too confining, and as soon as I had the chance, I remade this training in Articulate Storyline 360.
This was also my first time using Adobe Illustrator, and while my designs are not as sophisticated as I would like them to be with more time and experience, I am proud of what I created a set of graphics with consistency.
I also used Vyond for the first time on a free trial, and found it to be a versatile and engaging platform. I look forward to creating more with it.
I enjoyed creating five separate, but consistent and connected modules that each contain interactive elements and pleasing graphics to
During testing with family and friends, they said this training was more engaging than the typical compliance training modules they have completed in the past, and they learned new, useful information.
