Navigating the Beijing Subway System
Project Overview
Embedded Files
This instructional design project is a short, instructor-led, slide-based onboarding training designed to support newly relocated expatriate employees as they learn to navigate the Beijing Subway system. The training provides clear, practical guidance on essential commuting tasks such as planning routes, using a preloaded transit card, navigating stations, and transferring lines.
Why this matters:
By reducing uncertainty and cognitive overload during a high-stress relocation period, the training helps new employees become self-sufficient more quickly. This supports smoother onboarding and enables organizations to remove a common barrier to productivity early in the transition by ensuring employees can travel smoothly, reaching their working locations safely and on-time.

Navigating the Beijing Subway System
Instructional Design Document
This design document shows the plan for the development of a short, instructor-led, slide-based onboarding training designed to help newly relocated expatriate employees confidently and independently use Beijing’s subway system. The instruction focuses on high-frequency, real-world tasks such as planning a route, using a preloaded transit card, navigating stations, and transferring lines, so learners can apply the skills immediately during their first days in the city
The course design reflects strong audience analysis and cognitive load management by intentionally narrowing scope to the subway system and tap-card use, excluding advanced payment methods and transportation options that are not yet accessible or relevant to new arrivals. Real photographs, bilingual signage, and a scenario-based assessment reinforce authenticity, confidence, and transfer of learning within a fast-paced corporate onboarding context
