Field Technician Accelerated AI Training

Aspen AI - Contract

Aspen AI

Overview

This project focused on improving a field technician training program that relied on long, text-heavy training materials and often took close to a year to complete. Working within the client’s existing LMS, I designed a trainee learning experience that used AI to restructure dense technical documentation into multimodal training content. The result was a concept-level LMS demo that showed how complex material could be delivered more efficiently while supporting better engagement and comprehension for new technicians.

Team

Collaborative team project

Owned trainee learning experience flow, AI-assisted content generation, and LMS demo mockups.

The Problem

The client’s existing training experience presented several challenges:


  • Training programs often took close to a year for new technicians to complete

  • LMS modules were largely adapted from training manuals and PowerPoint decks

  • Content was repetitive, text-heavy, and cognitively overwhelming

  • Translating large technical documents into LMS-ready content was time-consuming

  • The training lacked multimodal formats to support different learning styles

Design Focus

Rather than redesigning the LMS UI, this project centered on improving learning clarity and efficiency within existing constraints.

The primary goals were to:

  • Reduce cognitive overload in technical training content

  • Introduce multimodal learning formats (read, listen, interact)

  • Demonstrate how AI could accelerate content creation and structuring

  • Maintain compatibility with the client’s current LMS platform

My Role & Contribution

As the UX Designer on this project, I was responsible for shaping how trainees would experience and move through the training content.


What I worked on:


  • Designing a trainee learning experience flow to guide module progression

  • Using AI to summarize and restructure large technical documents

  • Generating AI-assisted instructional content and imagery

  • Creating a high-fidelity Figma LMS demo for stakeholder presentation

Solution Overview

The final solution was a concept-level LMS demo that showcased how AI-generated content could support a more engaging and structured learning experience.

The demo included:

  • Chapter summaries to break down complex material

  • Podcast-style audio content for alternative learning modes

  • AI-generated instructional images

  • Interactive drag-and-drop activities

  • Knowledge checks to reinforce comprehension

Note: Due to a signed NDA, detailed mockups, prototypes, and additional artifacts cannot be shared publicly. The visuals shown here are limited and have been approved for portfolio use.

Constraints & Real-World Considerations

This project involved several real-world limitations that shaped design decisions:


  • Platform constraints tied to the client’s existing LMS

  • Highly technical training content requiring careful AI review

  • A two-week delivery window for stakeholder presentation

  • Delays in receiving training materials and LMS access

  • Introducing AI-generated training content into an established workflow

Outcomes

  • Stakeholder approval, including positive feedback from the CEO

  • Validation that AI-generated training content could improve clarity and engagement

  • Alignment on future-phase potential for AI-supported training

  • Successful delivery of Phase 1 concept work

Lessons Learned

  • AI can significantly speed up content creation, but UX judgment is essential to ensure accuracy and usability

  • Clear stakeholder communication is critical when introducing AI into established workflows

  • Designing within strict constraints sharpened focus on the learning experience


Next time, I would push earlier for access to training materials and platform details to allow more iteration time.
