Inbox Under Pressure — Interactive Cybersecurity Training
Project Overview
Designed and developed Inbox Under Pressure, an interactive cybersecurity awareness training experience using Articulate Storyline 360.
This portfolio project uses realistic workplace scenarios to help learners practise identifying security threats and making appropriate decisions under pressure.
You can explore the interactive prototype using the Completed Work link at the end of this case study.
The Challenge
Traditional cybersecurity awareness training often focuses on explaining security rules rather than allowing learners to apply them.
The design challenge was to create an interactive experience where learners could make decisions, receive immediate feedback, and understand the consequences of their choices.
My Approach
I designed three workplace security scenarios focusing on:
Suspicious Emails: Recognising potential phishing attempts and choosing appropriate responses.
MFA Security: Responding to unexpected multi-factor authentication requests.
Incident Reporting: Deciding how to respond when a potential security incident occurs.
Rather than relying on passive content, I used decision-based interactions to encourage active participation.
The experience incorporates:
Storyline triggers and variables to manage interactions
Conditional feedback based on learner decisions
Variable-based scoring to track performance
Scenario-based learning with realistic workplace situations
A downloadable Security Response Toolkit for practical reference
My Role
Instructional Design, E-Learning Development, Scenario Writing, Interaction Design, and Assessment Development.
Tools
Articulate Storyline 360
Deliverables
An interactive cybersecurity awareness learning experience featuring three workplace scenarios, decision-based activities, performance feedback, and a downloadable reference resource.
Outcome
Completed a functional, scenario-based training prototype demonstrating how Articulate Storyline can be used to develop interactive decision-making activities, conditional feedback, and structured learning assessments.
The project showcases my ability to translate workplace learning objectives into engaging, technically developed e-learning experiences.
