Summary
There is no current procedure for the handoff between day and night shifts in the Flight Operations Center at Aviata which leads to inconsistent and nonstandard information sharing. This problem results in key information being missed, a decrease in efficiency, and negative cash flow. The Head of the Flight Operations Center would like a standardized procedure for information sharing between crew shifts. This procedure is expected to increase OSS efficacy and increase on time arrivals by 25% in 9 months. All new OSS will be given the training as well as current OSS’s.
During the kick-off meeting, the stakeholders, SMEs, myself, and other instructional designers discussed this problem, the business goal to increase on time arrivals, and training as well as non-training solutions. As a solution, we suggested to create a pass-off sheet to facilitate the transfer of information. In addition, we created training to show how to fill out each section of the pass-off sheet. At the end of the training, OSS will need to correctly fill out a pass-off sheet using the variety of sources of information about each flight including the trip-sheet, email communications, and phone calls from the FOC, crew, and customers.
Action Mapping
After we determined the business goal, we created an action map that led us to practice the skills of collecting information and filling out the Pass-Off sheet correctly. We agree on our objectives for the eLearning course, which was OSS will complete the pass off sheet in complete detail and place it in the company’s virtual desktop at the end of each shift.
Project Documents and Timeline
At the conclusion of the kickoff meeting, we created a project document and timeline to ensure expectations and meet deadlines for deliverables.

StoryBoard Design
After analysis was completed, we created the style guide with fonts and colors from the brand. Next, we designed the course in a storyboard. After the intital design, we got feedback from the SME.

Development
After storyboarding the course, we started development. First, we developed a pass-off sheet template that could be used for each flight. Then, I made an interactive PDF version with an example of the sheet filled out as well as hover icons that explain complicated sections.

Then, after creating and collecting all the assets, we used Camtasia and Storyline 360 to author the content. The course presents the need for the pass-off sheet, presents videos to explain each section, and how to fill the sheet out. The final part of the course requires the learner to fill out a pass-off sheet using the OSS schedule and a trip sheet as the sources of information.
