For the CLB – Drone Deployment simulation, I was tasked with leading the visual design of the graphics. This included creating an engaging, user-friendly interface that would facilitate the learner’s interaction with a probability tree. The goal was to help learners, acting as principal cost analysts, navigate scenarios involving drone testing and evaluation, calculating probabilities, costs, and other related factors.

During the project, I worked closely with the development team to ensure that the new HTML5 simulation was Section 508 compliant for accessibility. Since drag-and-drop interactions are not inherently accessible, we replaced them with a tab selection function, making the simulation navigable with keyboard controls. The visual design was created with a focus on clarity, aesthetics, and enhancing user experience, ensuring the simulation would be intuitive and easy to follow.
The updated simulation was successfully implemented and delivered to the target audience of DoD acquisition professionals. It provided a more modern, accessible learning experience while maintaining the educational integrity of the original Flash-based simulation. The visual design improvements were well received, aligning with the overall goals of accessibility and effective user engagement.
