Transforming Training at Turnitin: My Story with Digital Learning Design

I’m a Senior Consultant at Turnitin, an EdTech company, where I specialize in training and implementation for internal and external clients, from schools to government bodies. After five years in this role, I realized our traditional methods—PowerPoints and Google Docs—weren't enough. We needed better ways to deliver content, and I needed the skills to create modern, engaging learning experiences.. 

With a background in teaching, I’ve always been passionate about education. I was looking for a course that would help me design digital learning modules more professionally. After researching, I found the Digital Learning Institute’s diploma, accredited by Glasgow Caledonian University. It fit perfectly with my goals and the needs of my team.

The course was a game-changer. I gained new skills in instructional design, learned to use tools like Articulate 360, and developed a deeper understanding of modern learning theories. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me the confidence to create interactive, engaging modules that meet the high expectations of today’s learners.

Since completing the diploma, our team is now developing 20 new product-based modules, hosted on a platform we’ve just launched. I’m working alongside a digital learning specialist, and my new qualification has given me credibility within the company. I now play a key role in shaping our training strategy.

If you’re looking to grow in the digital learning or instructional design field, I highly recommend the Digital Learning Institute. The course is practical, challenging, and designed to help you advance your career in education or beyond.
