I worked for an organic farm in 2022. One of my responsibilities was to train farm workers in milking goats. The milking process had many steps, and workers kept forgetting the steps and what order to do them.
I designed this job aid in Canva. It was posted in the goat shed and also in the kitchen where milk was processed. It allowed workers to independently complete the milking without requiring a supervisor present to remind them of the steps.
Audience: New goat milkers

A help desk was having difficulty with new workers remembering the steps to answering and logging a phone call.
I designed this job aid in Canva. It reminds workers to pull the information needed to take a phone call, log it in the system, and follow up to ensure the issue is resolved by the end of the day.

Online courses can become quite dull. Some courses I review follow the dreaded "read, write, repeat" model (they only ask students to read, then write a paper or write a discussion post). There are more creative ways to ask our students to show their learning.
I designed this infographic in Canva. Not only does it introduce someone to Virginia Woolf and a few of her most notable novels, it is also an example of an assignment that can be used in an online class.
Rather than ask learners to write yet another paper, why not ask them to design an infographic? This kind of assignment also uses higher-order Bloom's verbs, asking students to adapt their learning by creating a learning aid.
Audience: Any learner!
