Portfolio / Learning Experience Design & Facilitation

Learning is not a presentation. It is an experience.

I design and facilitate learning that invites people to think, practise, question and apply—not simply listen. From enterprise automation and AI to engineering, disaster response and public science, I make complex subjects feel human and usable.

02 / How I design the room

Engagement is not entertainment. It is a design decision.

Adult learners bring experience, constraints and purpose. I start with what they need to do differently, then design for clarity, participation and meaningful practice—drawing on adult learning principles, Bloom’s Taxonomy and cognitive-load awareness.

“I want learners to leave with a usable way of thinking—not just notes from a session.”
01
Understand the learner and contextWhat do participants already know? What decisions do they make? What time, language or technical constraints shape the session?
02
Design backwards from performanceTranslate desired workplace or learning capability into specific objectives and appropriate cognitive demands.
03
Build interaction into the structureAlternate short explanations with questioning, demonstration, discussion, problem-solving and guided practice.
04
Close with transfer and reflectionUse applied questions, feedback, job aids or follow-up prompts to connect the session with action beyond the classroom.
03 / Design in action

What a learning experience looks like before the first slide.

Here is a small, independently created example of my facilitation approach. Instead of explaining process analysis for an hour, I would structure learning around a familiar service-request problem and give participants opportunities to examine, decide and justify.

Target capability: Identify process bottlenecks and recommend a justified improvement.

60-minute process-improvement mini labSample original session plan · Product-neutral
Illustrative
0–10 min
Anchor the problem

Present a fictional service-request journey and ask: where might people be waiting?

10–20 min
Build the mental model

Explain process steps, handoffs, rework and exceptions with a simple annotated flow.

20–45 min
Apply and discuss

Teams map the process, identify bottlenecks and defend one improvement decision.

45–60 min
Reflect and transfer

Compare recommendations, address misconceptions and formulate a workplace takeaway.

View an example knowledge check

“A request is repeatedly returned for missing information. What evidence would you gather before proposing automation?” Learners justify the next analytical step rather than selecting a memorised definition.

This fictional demonstration is created solely for the public portfolio and is not an internal course activity, assessment item or restricted training document.
04 / Designing beyond the live session

The best facilitation starts before—and continues after—the workshop.

I approach delivery as part of a learning ecosystem, supported by thoughtful design artifacts. The examples below describe types of artifacts, not downloadable employer materials.

01

Facilitator guidance

Session flow, timings, discussion prompts, activity instructions and alternatives for different learner groups.

02

Learner activities

Scenarios, decision prompts, guided worksheets and opportunities to practise with meaningful feedback.

03

Performance support

Quick-reference materials, reflection questions, checks for understanding and future learning pathways.

Let's connect

Learning should remain useful long after the session ends.
