Mindfulness Microlearning Course

Interactive eLearning Module | Articulate Storyline

This mindfulness microlearning module was designed to introduce learners to simple, accessible practices that support emotional regulation, body awareness, and stress reduction. The course combines visual storytelling, guided movement, and reflective learning to create a calm, engaging digital experience.

The module centers on the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) sequence, presented through an interactive 12-step exploration that allows learners to move through poses at their own pace. Each pose includes clear instructions, benefits, and optional audio guidance, supporting both novice and experienced learners.

⭐ Design Goal

The goal of this project was to design a short, self-paced learning experience that:

• Encourages mindfulness through movement and breath awareness

• Supports learner autonomy and gentle exploration

• Demonstrates how emotional wellness content can be delivered through interactive eLearning

• Creates a visually calming environment aligned with mindfulness principles

⭐ Instructional Approach

This module uses several instructional design strategies:

• Microlearning: Short, focused learning segments to reduce cognitive load

• Scenario-based interaction: Learners explore poses step-by-step in a guided sequence

• Multimodal learning: Visual poses, text guidance, and optional audio support

• Self-directed navigation: Learners control pacing and sequence exploration

• Trauma-informed design principles: Calm color palette, minimal cognitive demands, and supportive language

⭐ Interaction Design

Key interactions include:

• Click-to-explore pose navigation

• Layer-based pose detail screens

• Audio mute/unmute control for learner comfort

• Hover and selected states to guide exploration

• Progressive disclosure to prevent overwhelm

⭐ Visual Design Strategy

The visual design emphasizes calmness, clarity, and accessibility:

• Soft, nature-inspired color palette

• Generous whitespace to support cognitive ease

• Minimalist typography to reduce visual noise

• Subtle microinteractions that reinforce user agency

• Consistent iconography and pose silhouettes

⭐ Tools Used

• Articulate Storyline

• Canva (visual asset refinement)

• Audio editing tools

• Interaction design using triggers, layers, and states

⭐ Reflection

This project demonstrates my ability to design learning experiences that balance instructional rigor with emotional sensitivity. It also highlights my interest in creating wellness-focused learning solutions that support learner autonomy, accessibility, and engagement.
