Remote Team Collaboration (Articulate Storyline)

Audience: Marketing team members at CreativeMark Solutions, including project managers, content creators, graphic designers, and account managers.

Business Problem: CreativeMark Solutions has been experiencing project delays due to poor communication and a lack of effective collaboration tools and strategies for remote work. This has resulted in missed deadlines and decreased client satisfaction.

The goal is to enhance team collaboration to reduce project delays by 20% over the next six months, as measured by on-time project completion rates and team communication frequency through project management tools.

Solution: This interactive, scenario-based training equips team members with the skills to effectively use collaboration tools, follow best practices for remote communication, and manage time zone differences. Learners engage in real-world scenarios that mirror their daily tasks, allowing them to practice:

• Utilizing Monday.com, Microsoft Teams, and Asana for project tracking and communication.

• Implementing clear communication norms to enhance team synergy.

• Developing strategies to mitigate challenges posed by time zone differences.

• Selecting appropriate communication channels for various interactions.

Tools Used: Articulate Storyline, Canva

Process: After analyzing project management reports and conducting team surveys, I identified key areas contributing to project delays. Using the ADDIE model, I developed a comprehensive design document and storyboard to outline the training structure, ensuring alignment with client expectations. Each scenario was crafted to reflect common challenges faced by the team, incorporating animations and interactive elements in Storyline to enhance engagement.

Post-implementation, the training's effectiveness will be evaluated through:

Kirkpatrick’s Level 2 Evaluation: The training concludes with a 5-question assessment focused on scenarios related to remote collaboration. A passing score of 80% is required to demonstrate mastery of the desired skills.

Kirkpatrick’s Level 3 Evaluation: These assessments should be conducted over a defined period (e.g., three to six months post-training) to gather meaningful and actionable data. Assess the following:

• • Use of Collaboration Tools:

    1. Are team members actively using Monday.com, Microsoft Teams, and Asana for task management and communication?

    2. Data collection method: Monitor tool usage reports, such as login frequency, task completions, and interaction metrics.

  • Improved Communication Practices:

    1. Are employees adhering to the newly defined communication norms, such as response times and clarity protocols?

    2. Data collection method: Conduct manager evaluations, peer reviews, or surveys.

  • Impact on Deadlines and Collaboration:

    1. Are teams meeting project deadlines more consistently?

    2. Data collection method: Compare project delivery timelines and survey client or stakeholder satisfaction before and after the training.
