Design Guide Project:
Torrey Pines Design Guide
Overview:
I was tasked with co-creating the Torrey Pines Design Guide alongside a fellow Learning Experience Designer (LXD). This guide was intended to provide comprehensive design standards and resources to help other members of the team who were creating content (LXDs and future hires) create more consistent and effective learning experiences. The guide was structured to align learning design with the organization's goals, ensuring high-quality course development across all platforms.
Key Responsibilities:
Collaboration: Worked closely with another LXD to co-develop the guide, ensuring consistency and clarity in the design process.
Research and Development: Researched best practices in instructional design and learning sciences to establish clear design tenets and standards.
Framework Creation: Developed a streamlined process using the PADDIE Instructional Design Model to guide LXDs through planning, development, and implementation.
Content Structure: Designed sections covering essential elements, such as naming conventions, course writing standards, assessment creation, and the development of accessible materials.
Visual and Technical Guidance: Worked with a team of UX designers, Program Managers, and Marketing Managers to include guidelines for color palette, visual asset usage, screenshot guidance, and course engagement techniques to enhance the learning experience.
LMS Preparation: Provided instructions for preparing and uploading assets to the LMS, ensuring the seamless integration of new courses into the platform.
