GDPR Awareness Training — VerityX Solutions
The Challenge
:
Non-technical staff in sales, marketing, and administration needed a clear, accessible grounding in GDPR — specifically around handling personal data in a tech environment. The challenge was making mandatory compliance training genuinely engaging rather than a passive, box-ticking exercise.
My Approach:
To avoid the passive, information-heavy format typical of compliance training, I structured the module around a relatable scenario character — Jade — whose realistic GDPR mistake opens the course and whose resolution closes it.
Highlights
- Accessibility was a design priority throughout. I used Subtitle Edit to ensure captions were appropriately chunked to avoid increasing cognitive load.
- Triggers redirect learners to relevant instructive material upon failing a knowledge check.
- OpenAI embedded into formative assessment to provide instantaneous, targeted feedback in an asynchronous design.
