Hi, I'm Ting Zhou.

I turn complex content into engaging training experiences.

15+ years across higher education and corporate L&D, with a Ph.D. in Instructional Technology and a specialty in game-based learning.

A Few Highlights

Interactive Animation

A hybrid of Storyline 360 and Vyond, animated scenarios where learners click through choices and see different outcomes — used for leadership and cybersecurity training.

Jama Training Redesign

Stakeholder research and simulation-based redesign cut average completion time from 23 days to 9 — a 61% improvement.

Leadership Program Jeopardy

A full Jeopardy-style game in Storyline 360 that turned a 25-question final assessment into a leaderboard competition.

A little about me

For my doctoral dissertation, I built a serious game for disaster preparedness — and studied how people actually learn from playing it. A decade later, I'm still designing training that looks more like a game than a slideshow, only now it's for engineers, leadership programs, and safety compliance.
