This e-learning guide was built for a mortgage company to educate prospective clients on the process of buying a home in Hawai'i.

• Audience: Potential clients looking to buy a home in Hawai’i

• Responsibilities: Instructional Design, eLearning Design, and Analysis

• Tools Used: Articulate Rise 360

Overview

Housing in Hawaii is in high demand and comes at a significant price when compared to other locations. Due to the desirable location and limited land, buying and owning a home in Hawaii has unique benefits that potential clients should be aware of.

Many potential clients are first time home buyers. These clients need to be educated on the various mortgage products, as well as how to qualify for a mortgage.

This guide was made for a mortgage broker to share with their clients as a guide to the home buying process in Hawaii and to show why owning a home in Hawaii is particularly valuable and a good investment.

Process

I designed this e-learning guide by using the background knowledge I have of Hawaii real estate and creating a rough outline of the content of the guide. I then collaborated with the SME (mortgage broker) to fill in the details of the course and what was to be included.

Highlights

I utilized adult learning theory throughout the creation of the course, including:

• Pre-assessment checklist

• Interactive features (virtual flashcards, interactive map of Hawaii)

• Post-assessment quiz
