Sarah Dodds

I love to solve learning and communication problems for clients. I do this by analysing training needs, crystallising and clarifying objectives and concepts, determining effective treatments and writing key messages that stick! These solutions are simple but informative, oftentimes fun, always relatable and ultimately enhance retention and impact effective learning.

I like to bring a creative and analytical mind to my work and have 17 years’ experience working across government, health care, tertiary education, finance, transport, manufacturing, retail and government.

My knowledge of learning theories and methodologies, as well as my passion for human-centred design helps transform content into meaningful learning experiences.

Working closely with the project team, I typically follow a process of consultation and design; analysing data, responding to briefs, clarifying objectives, mapping architecture, content workshops, ideating creative treatments, storyboarding and writing content.

Along the way I collaborate with stakeholders, systems architects, subject matter experts, art directors and graphic artists, video producers, software developers and project managers. I use Miro to map ideas and architecture, Articulate 360 to create elearning modules, vYond to create animations, Sharepoint, Microsoft Teams, and Azure DevOps.
