Your Day in the Sun: What Would You Do?
This scenario-based eLearning experience brings sunblock safety to life through immersive storytelling and interactive learning.
Responsibilities:
Design a scenario-based eLearning experience that promotes active learning and real-world application.
Align content and activities with the learning objectives.
Develop visually engaging, accessible, and easy-to-navigate interactions in Rise 360.
Incorporate multimedia elements (images, videos, quizzes) to enhance engagement and retention.
Ensure tone and visuals resonate with a general audience while maintaining educational value.
Audience
Every day, individuals who spend time outdoors—whether for work, recreation, or daily routines—may not fully understand the importance of consistent sun protection.

I leveraged ChatGPT to brainstorm creative ideas, refine course copy, and support scriptwriting for scenarios and voiceovers, streamlining content development while keeping a learner-focused approach.
The Problem
Every day, people are exposed to the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays, often without realizing the long-term effects on their skin and overall health. Many individuals either underestimate the importance of sun protection or are unsure about how to apply it correctly, how often to reapply, or which products are best for their lifestyle. This lack of awareness can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and increased risk of skin cancer.
Your Day in the Sun: What Would You Do? addresses this gap by placing learners in realistic, scenario-based situations that challenge them to make informed sun safety decisions, reinforcing habits that protect their skin every day, regardless of weather or activity.
The Solution
Your Day in the Sun: What Would You Do? is a scenario-based eLearning course that brings sun safety to life through immersive storytelling and interactive design.
Learners navigate realistic, everyday situations—such as running errands, spending a day at the beach, or working outdoors—making choices about sunscreen application, protective clothing, and UV exposure.
The course uses a mix of:
Interactive scenarios that let learners see the consequences of their decisions in real time.
Short animated videos to demonstrate proper sunblock application and sun-safe behaviors.
Quizzes and knowledge checks to reinforce learning and ensure retention.
Clear, engaging voiceover narration to guide learners through the story and emphasize key concepts.
This approach empowers learners to understand the impact of their choices and adopt sun safety habits that are practical, consistent, and easy to apply in daily life.
The Process
Guided by the ADDIE model, I developed this eLearning solution through a structured, iterative approach. I started with an action map to map learner decisions and objectives, followed by a text-based storyboard to organize content and flow. I then created visual mockups to define the look and feel of the course. At each stage, I integrated feedback and made iterative improvements to ensure the content, design, and functionality provided an engaging and effective learning experience.
ADDIE
-
Identify learning needs, goals, and audience characteristics.
Determine what learners need to know and what gaps exist.
-
Plan the structure of the learning experience.
Define learning objectives, assessments, activities, and content flow.
-
Build the actual course or learning materials.
Use tools like Rise 360, Vyond, Adobe, or Canvas to produce interactive content.
-
Deliver the course to learners.
Make sure technology works, learners can access materials, and facilitators are prepared.
-
Assess the effectiveness of the training.
Can be formative (during development) or summative (after completion).
Action Map
I created the action map this way to clearly connect learner decisions to real-world consequences, ensuring each scenario reinforces practical sun safety habits. By mapping choices, feedback, and outcomes, I was able to design an interactive, scenario-based experience that engages learners, promotes reflection, and encourages the adoption of daily sun protection behaviors.
Text-Based Storyboard
I developed a text-based storyboard to organize the course content, scenarios, and learner interactions before moving into visual design. This allowed me to clearly define the flow of each scenario, map decision points, and outline feedback and outcomes. By having the narrative and instructional structure laid out in text first, I could ensure the story-driven approach was engaging, the learning objectives were met.
