Critical Thinking Training Course
Audience: Managerial staff
Format: 15-minute instructor-led learning sample · Virtual or in-person participation
Tools: Canva, Google Slides, Slido
A condensed learning experience developed as an instructional design work sample for a job interview. Designed to demonstrate my approach to creating engaging, learner-centered training within a limited timeframe, the presentation introduces critical thinking in the workplace and explores how managers can encourage independent thinking and problem-solving within their teams.
My role
I independently developed the instructional package, including the storyboard, presentation, facilitator guide, learner guide, and supporting job aid. I used Canva and Google Slides for visual development and incorporated Slido activities to demonstrate how interactive learning could be facilitated in virtual or in-person settings.

Design Challenge and Approach
The primary challenge was creating a meaningful, engaging learning experience within a 15-minute presentation window while demonstrating instructional design principles and practical workplace relevance, while also facilitating the experience as well.
I prioritized a focused introduction to the topic, beginning with an interactive exercise that challenged participants to consider familiar objects from different perspectives. I then connected the activity to critical thinking in the workplace, explored its relevance to managers, and introduced practical strategies for encouraging independent thought among employees.
The accompanying facilitator guide, learner guide, and job aid demonstrated how the learning experience could be supported beyond the presentation itself.
