This eLearning training raises awareness of the health impact from bad food choices and educates people on how to choose the right meal for them using ketogenic diet. The purpose of this training is to recognize and make healthy food choices in order to decrease weight to the level where the Body Mass Index (BMI) is ideal (between 18.5 and 24.9). The module consists of basic introduction about the keto diet, the benefits of it, and the food that people can eat, or should avoid, if they want to follow through this diet.

Audience: People of all ages, who want to lose weight, reduce blood pressure, and live a healthy lifestyle.

Responsibilities: Research, Instructional Design, Design Document, eLearning Development, Visual Design.

Tools: Articulate Rise 360, Power Point, Articulate Storyline 360.

The problem

Many people suffer from being overweight and having bad eating habits due to social or personal reasons. One of the main challenges to following through with the diet is emotional eating, dieting to control the eating, demotivating, or genetic predisposition.

People feel that in order to control their food intake they need to put themselves on a diet. The belief is that by embarking on a diet with rules that tell them what they can and can’t eat or how much they’re allowed to eat, they will be able to control their eating and lose weight in the process. The problem is that many people go on diets without really addressing their eating habits and relationship with food.

The Solution

This short eLearning module educates about different type of diet - ketogenic - without cutting the calories, or meal portion intakes, and aims for more ‘middle-way’ eating, setting up new mindful eating habits. Although going on diets can make people feel miserable and even anxious, by taking this course the learner can become a more mindful eater and adopt a more flexible mindset. They can start to feel a lot more free and relaxed around food, and start seeing food as a friend, not an enemy.

The Process

I researched the topic reading different articles and identified the desired actions: determined the look and feel, the visual narrative, created graphics in Microsoft PowerPoint, and developed the final using product with Articulate Rise.

I used PowerPoint to manipulate various assets and create custom visuals for the project.

The ResultS

I conducted the final review by going over the eLearning Q&A Checklist, and tested among a small pool of learners who participated by completing the module. I wanted every person who would interact with the learning experience to provide feedback from the learning experience. The feedback provided from the testing helped make final adjustments to the course before it was launched. Additional feedback from the testing consisted of adding the correct answer in the feedback after each knowledge check, adding few graphics to the accordion interaction making it more consistent, and few tweaks to reward stickers making them all different and connecting them into the course context. This process ensured that the tool functioned correctly for the learners.

Developing this project, perfected my Articulate Rise knowledge, and helped me appreciate the importance of a visual narrative to support the message I want to deliver.
