A teacher performance problem at its core - student academic performance in high-needs public schools wasn't improving, and the Department of Education needed more than another information dump. They needed teachers to change behavior. This project was built to do exactly that.
Using Cathy Moore's action mapping approach, Lailaa designed ten branching scenarios that place teachers inside real classroom situations - forcing decisions, delivering consequences, and building the muscle memory needed to lead a student-centered environment with confidence.
Student academic performance wasn't improving, especially in high-needs schools. The client's first instinct was to upload a PowerPoint to the LMS. Lailaa redirected: "What do we want teachers to be able to do differently?" That question changed everything.
Action mapping with the client and SME revealed the specific teacher behaviors needed to build a student-led classroom. Each behavior became a scenario. A fictional mentor named Valerie was designed to provide optional guidance - keeping learners supported without removing the productive struggle of decision-making.
Learners averaged 15 minutes to complete. Teacher-leads reported the design kept them focused and felt realistic. One noted the workflow was comfortable and non-distracting - the highest compliment a minimalist learning design can receive.
A slide-based fire safety presentation wasn't creating readiness. Employees needed to practice emergency decision-making in a realistic environment - before a real emergency required it.
A fully immersive 360° VR simulation built in CenarioVR using real workplace footage captured with an Insta360 camera. Learners navigate branching evacuation scenarios with professional AI narration and clear decision checkpoints.
Unconscious affinity bias was affecting workplace decisions - but traditional DEI training wasn't creating the awareness and behavioral shift needed. The solution had to be short, honest, and human.
An animated microlearning module developed in Vyond, supported by a full learning needs analysis and script. Designed to create awareness, spark reflection, and prompt real behavior change in under five minutes.
Managers were being asked to coach their teams without having been taught what coaching actually means - or how to do it. The organization needed a live training that built real skill, not just awareness.
A full virtual instructor-led training session with a branded slide deck, detailed facilitator guide with delivery notes, and participant materials - designed for active engagement, not passive listening.
Prospective yoga students didn't know which class was right for them - leading to drop-off before they ever signed up. A yoga center needed a clean, welcoming experience that could live on a touchscreen at the entrance or a phone via QR code.
A mobile-first, touchscreen-ready eLearning module built in Articulate Rise 360. Clean visual design, minimal cognitive load, and fully responsive - so every prospective learner could find their yoga style with confidence.
Step-by-step instructions in document form weren't working - users needed to see the process in action, at their own pace, with the ability to pause and rewind.
A professionally produced video tutorial with clear narration, on-screen callouts, and pacing designed for learners at varying comfort levels with the subject matter.
Subject matter experts know their content deeply - but translating that expertise into learning design requires a structured review process that captures what matters without scope creep.
A documented SME feedback and review workflow that keeps subject experts engaged, captures content-level accuracy, and separates instructional decisions from subject matter input - keeping projects on time and on scope.
VR Simulation · CenarioVR · Workplace Safety
The organization had a standard slide-based fire safety presentation. It covered the right information - alarm response, evacuation routes, assembly points. But information alone does not create readiness. In an emergency, people act on what they've practiced, not what they've read.
Lailaa applied scenario-based learning principles and experiential learning theory to transform the passive presentation into a branching VR simulation - one that placed employees inside realistic workplace environments and asked them to make the same decisions they'd face in a real emergency.
A fully immersive training simulation designed to improve employee readiness, reinforce evacuation procedures in context, increase engagement and retention, and support scalable safety compliance - all within a format that non-technical users could navigate without prior VR experience.
Not what they should know. What they should do. That distinction is where real instructional design begins.
Real learner feedback from the scenario-based eLearning project - collected after the first cohort completed the experience. It reflects what great instructional design looks like in practice: invisible design, present learning.
Lailaa designs so that the learner is always at the center - not the tools, not the aesthetics, not the content itself. The goal is always the same: make the learning work.
