I'm Anthony Johnson
Expert In

Responsible for the design and development of learning solutions that will educate the company’s personnel while also enhancing performance. I create learner-centered programs utilizing the finest design tool to provide the best solution for over 1000+ learners across the healthcare system.
Using reality-based scenarios, interactives, and simulations, created custom eLearning courses and static designs adapted to client needs. Collaborated with subject matter experts and technical writers to adapt the department’s procedures into useful training materials.
Developed interactive learning software simulation training environments in collaboration with SME’s to engage learners before transitioning into a production setting.
I’m a Raleigh, North Carolina-based Instructional Designer and eLearning Developer.
Anthony Johnson is my name. I’m interested in technology, gaming, abstract art, and distinctive fonts. I’m also interested in diverse cultures, travel, art, and working with people. I’ve been in the learning and development profession for more than a decade. Working in the design and development sector is tremendously gratifying for me, and it’s especially rewarding when I can offer interesting solutions for learners.
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, fortunate to have parents that recognized that being artsy was cool and allowed me to express myself uniquely as early as the age of five.
As I grew older, I became attracted to any form of art that allowed me to express myself creatively, therefore painting became an outlet for me.
As a trainer and designer, I found myself drawn to designing and building eLearning and using PowerPoint more and more.
A quantifiable business goal aids in the creation of relevant activities, the identification of critical content, the evaluation of your project’s success, and the demonstration of how your work benefits the business.
By understanding what people aren’t doing and why, I design and construct activities that individuals must take to reach your business goals.
Is training going to be enough to remedy the issue? To fulfil performance solutions, I build real-world practice activities that are relevant to the job.
Step one, employing action mapping, is, in my opinion, the most crucial of all the other phases. I have a lot of opportunities to ask open-ended questions here, so I prefer to use Twine, a program that helps me illustrate action plans while listening to all parties involved to get a clear understanding of the client’s business goals and challenges in order to determine if training is the right solution. My aim is “developing a solution with a measurable and achievable goal to improve the organizations performance,” thanks to Cathy Moore’s book “Map It.”
After determining the company goal and agreeing that training is part of the solution, I start thinking from the flowchart I created during the preparation process in step one. It is critical that I collaborate with a subject matter expert (SME) during the design phase to ensure that I am only focusing on what the learners must do to achieve that goal. and why aren’t they doing what’s required to meet performance targets?
I’ve discovered that my design approach is more hybrid (ADDIE, Gagne’s Nine events of instruction) design models, as well as Action Mapping, are frameworks that have really taken my understanding of instructional design and modernized my approach by developing performance solutions with practice activities that mirror real-world behavior as much as possible.
This is my chance to meet with the client following the learner training to discuss feedback (impact, benefits, etc.) I like to schedule debriefings with SME’s and clients a week after learners complete the training to determine the impact of the training.
