Learning Cluster: Using Google Cloud to Host Storyline Files
About the Project
The Project: This project started with a problem I had observed. I interviewed a few people I had helped with Loom videos and Zoom conferences to set up their Google Cloud storage on the pain points they had. Then, I set out to design and develop a pilot to test.
During the 3-month pilot period, I received feedback from 36 learners with a 100% success rate at setting up their Google Cloud accounts and portfolios. Using their feedback, I further streamlined the user experience and added a job aid and more detailed videos.
My Skills: Additionally, this is meant to showcase step-by-step technical training I have built for my company on our EMR (Electronic Medical Record) in terms of the skills to create the training in the authoring too. I cannot showcase those pieces because they are confidential and proprietary and covered by an NDA. This shows the same skills and was made by the same process but was made with all my tools/time/content.
This project also shows my ability to pilot and adapt to learner/user/audience feedback.
Full Simulation
Learners: If you are trying this setup for the first time and have not used a similar application, this is the recommended Learning Path.
The full eLearning simulation was created in Articulate Storyline, using other application including Camtasia, Audacity, Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, Microsoft Word, and SnagIt. This simulation has two branches/options within the eLearning: a linear experience recommended for first time learners and the option to look at specific functions and practice the parts in a modular fashion. Since this is a learning tool used by self-directed learners for a purpose relevant to their goals, the modular experience is unlocked initially.
Video Playlist
Learners: If you are revisiting this to solve a particular problem or have used similar software, you may be able to use the videos or step-by-step guide. If you find yourself confused or struggling, going through the full Storyline simulation is suggested. The videos are also contained within.
The videos in this playlist are included in the full eLearning as a resource and on optional screens as a demonstration before the learner practices. They are also linked from the job aid PDF that learners may want to use for review.

The PDF job aid is available as a supplement or review piece to showcase the step by step process of setting up a Google Cloud console.
