Fairy Flourish: A Growing Resume
An interactive e-learning game that showcases instructional design skills through a whimsical, gamified story. Learners help a garden fairy grow a flower, unlocking pieces of the designer’s resume with each task.
Audience: Hiring managers and instructional design professionals evaluating e-learning development skills.
Tools Used: Articulate Storyline 360, Adobe Illustrator, Canva.
Traditional resumes and portfolios often fail to capture a candidate’s creativity, instructional design expertise, and ability to craft engaging learning experiences. Static documents may not fully demonstrate the developer’s skill in interactive design, gamification, and accessibility.
The Problem
This Storyline-based microlearning game transforms a standard resume into an interactive journey, allowing users to engage with content in a playful and visually appealing way. By completing three simple, task-based interactions—watering a seed, providing sunlight, and pollinating a flower—users reveal key aspects of the designer’s skills and experience. This experience highlights expertise in instructional design and E-Learning development while demonstrating the power of interactive storytelling in training.
