I originally designed this training for compliance staff at a university. The live course sits inside the university’s learning platform, so I couldn’t share the original version publicly.
Instead, I rebuilt a version as a portfolio demo. Rather than using traditional eLearning tools like Storyline or Rise, I challenged myself to recreate the experience using the Wix website builder.
Why? I wanted to see whether I could recreate the interactive experience using tools that weren’t designed specifically for eLearning. Pushing myself outside my comfort zone has helped me adapt to different client environments and budget constraints.
At first, the builder felt like a limitation. Authoring tools are designed for learning interactions, while website builders usually aren’t. But I realised that a lot of the same behaviours can still be recreated using simple web elements.
For example, I used expandable sections, buttons, and overlays to reveal content step by step. I also used pop-up elements to provide immediate feedback, similar to what learners would see after answering a question in a traditional eLearning module.

Rebuilding the module in Wix started as a design experiment.
The result isn’t perfect, but the exercise reinforced something important: good instructional design doesn’t depend on a particular platform. With the right structure, even simple web elements can support interaction, feedback, and guided learning.
