Passport Control

In this project, I create a scenario-learning event. Designed for UK Citizens living in Italy who are covered by the withdrawal Agreement. The event aims to help redress some misconceptions experienced at passport control.
Assessment

Quiz-taking App

An easy-to-use online assessment tool, designed with real user experience data. The app contains three parts: A relaxation section designed to help reduce nervousness and anxiety. The quiz taking part. Finally, the evaluation, feedback and potential certification. While I used Articulate Storyline, it required a substantial amount of JavaScript. As part of the project, I learnt JavaScript to help overcome the issues I was having. You can find out about the challenges I had with JavaScript in the full write-up.

Helping an Organisation overcome the issues of misuse and abuse of USB Flash Drives. The organisation has suffered an increase in malware and is concerned about ransomware. In this project, I help create a solution to educate and inform staff. A three-pronged approach Scenario-based training; job-aids; and re-written user policy. By focusing on solutions to address key issues, we can reduce future malware attacks.
