Sample answer
“In my internship at an e-learning company, I developed a training program for new software users. I used the ADDIE model to design the content, incorporating interactive modules and video tutorials. To assess effectiveness, I implemented pre- and post-training quizzes, which showed a 30% increase in knowledge retention. Based on feedback, I also added more interactive elements, further enhancing engagement.”
