Case Studies

Managing Patient Anxiety in Clinical Settings

An interactive Rise 360 module applying social-emotional learning to support patient communication and decision-making in healthcare settings.

The Problem

Healthcare professionals often receive strong clinical training but limited support for managing patient anxiety and emotional interactions, which can impact communication and patient trust.

The Audience

Healthcare professionals and clinical staff navigating high-stress, patient-facing situations.


The Solution

An interactive module built in Articulate Rise 360 that applies social-emotional learning (SEL) to strengthen communication and decision-making through realistic scenarios.


My Process

  • Identified gap between clinical skills and interpersonal communication

  • Applied SEL competencies to guide design

  • Transformed instructor-led content into interactive eLearning

  • Developed in Rise for accessibility and usability


Key Features

  • Scenario-based learning

  • SEL integration (empathy, self-awareness)

  • Reflection prompts

  • Microlearning structure


Outcome & Reflection

Demonstrates my ability to design human-centered, healthcare-relevant learning. Future iterations would incorporate branching scenarios in Articulate Storyline 360 for deeper decision-making.

Responsive Classroom Course: Designing for Practice, Not Just Knowledge

An interactive eLearning course designed to help educators apply Responsive Classroom practices through scenario-based, real-world decision-making.

The Problem

Teachers often understand Responsive Classroom strategies conceptually but struggle to apply them consistently in real-time classroom situations.

The Audience

K–8 educators seeking practical, actionable strategies to integrate social-emotional learning into daily instruction.


The Solution

A scenario-based course that immerses educators in authentic classroom moments, allowing them to practice decision-making aligned to Responsive Classroom principles.


My Process

  • Structured the course using an Engage → Explore → Apply → Reflect learning model

  • Designed realistic classroom scenarios to mirror authentic teaching challenges

  • Reduced cognitive load by chunking content into concise, digestible sections

  • Incorporated reflection prompts to support transfer to classroom practice


Key Features

  • Scenario-based learning with multiple decision points

  • Immediate feedback tied to instructional reasoning

  • Clear progression from concept to application

  • Integration of SEL and academic instruction

  • User-centered design focused on clarity and engagement


Outcome & Reflection

This course supports educators in translating theory into practice while reflecting my focus on designing learning experiences that prioritize application, engagement, and real-world transfer.
