Cybersecurity training in five minutes

The conceptual client I designed this mini e-learning course for is a home and car insurance provider with over 2,000 employees in the United States. Prior to this project, MeSure provided 60-minute mandatory training courses once a year, with low completion rates and poor knowledge retention.

My goals were to create a more engaging cybersecurity training program with interactive elements, broken up into 5-minute modules, accessible via web browser.

Phase 1: Analyze

I analyzed the client's existing training structure and identified key gaps: the annual 60-minute format was not working. The solution was a micro-learning approach — short, focused modules that employees could complete in a single sitting, with built-in interactivity throughout.

Phase 2: Design and Develop

Using Articulate Rise, I created the Gone Phishing micro-learning course, designed as part of a set of three modules. Maintaining the client's brand colors, fonts, and graphic style, I built the course with interactivity throughout — completable within 3-5 minutes — ending with an assessment and certificate of completion.

Phase 3: Implement and Evaluate

Articulate includes embedded data analysis features. Once published to an LMS like Canvas or the MeSure team portal, the client and I could review assessment data and check for employee completion — ensuring the training was actually working, not just being clicked through.
