Final Debriefing

Nova and Mateo summarize the learner’s impact and tie their success back to the Cox legacy and future leadership path.

Overview:
Operation: Legacy Unlocked is an immersive, gamified e-learning module designed for senior leaders and employees at Cox Enterprises. Built in Articulate Storyline 360, this interactive escape room experience transforms traditional leadership training into an engaging digital journey through Cox’s historical milestones.

The Challenge:
Cox Enterprises needed a scalable, compelling way to educate leaders about the company’s legacy, business innovations, and core values — all while keeping learners engaged and aligned with the future of leadership at Cox.

The Solution:
I designed a non-linear, narrative-driven experience where learners step into the role of a “Cox Intelligence Agent.” Guided by AI agents Nova and Mateo, users navigate five missions that blend drag-and-drop challenges, knowledge checks, decision-based scenarios, and visual decoding puzzles — each grounded in historical business moments.

Key Features:

• Multi-phase learning design with SCORM 2004 tracking
• Fully custom UX/UI inspired by futuristic control rooms
• Responsive audio narration with character voiceovers
• Mission-based branching logic and completion gating
• Designed for engagement, retention, and strategic leadership alignment

Tools Used:
Articulate Storyline 360, Ideogram, Dream Machine, SCORM Cloud, Adobe XD, Audacity

How I Leveraged AI Tools in This Project:
To elevate both storytelling and production quality, I integrated several AI-powered tools throughout the design of Operation: Legacy Unlocked:

• ChatGPT – Co-developed instructional scripts and character dialogue for Nova and Mateo, ensuring consistent tone and alignment with leadership competencies.
• Descript – Used for voiceover editing and syncing narration with screen elements, allowing for efficient post-production and audio quality control.
• Dream Machine (Luma AI) – Generated cinematic animations for mission briefings and final debriefs, enhancing immersion and engagement.
• Ideogram – Created branded visual assets aligned with Cox’s corporate identity and the high-tech aesthetic of the experience.

These tools enabled rapid iteration, enhanced creativity, and helped deliver a polished, immersive product while maintaining instructional integrity.

Outcomes:
This experience not only elevates leadership training but also reflects Cox's innovation culture. By combining storytelling, design thinking, and immersive gameplay, the module fosters engagement, critical thinking, and connection to company legacy — paving the way for future-ready leaders.
