Bridging the Gap:  Azure Machine Learning for Beginner Developers

Cloud9.jpeg

Cloud Academy provides high-quality cloud technology training for professionals. They required a comprehensive course to introduce beginner-level software developers to Azure Machine Learning, integrating multiple modalities of learning.

Challenge

There was a need for a structured, engaging course to teach foundational Azure Machine Learning concepts and skills. The target audience included beginner-level developers working in corporate environments. The course had to balance theoretical explanations with hands-on practical applications while maintaining high production quality.

Solution

The course, "Introduction to Azure Machine Learning," included nine videos totalling 50 minutes, supported by practical activities, knowledge checks, and assessments. Key features included:

​

  • Video Design: A mix of explainer videos and screen-recorded demonstrations

  • Learning Path: Videos embedded within a broader learning path featuring hands-on virtual labs, software tutorials, and assessments

  • Engagement Strategies: Practical demonstrations complemented by explainer content to maintain learner interest and reinforce understanding

Implementation

The development process followed a structured pipeline:

​

  • Script and Storyboard Development: Scripts and storyboards were crafted in collaboration with the Subject Matter Expert (SME), ensuring technical accuracy and alignment with learning objectives

  • Production Pipeline: The videos underwent visual design and post-production to deliver professional-quality content

  • Review Cycle: Content was refined through a robust review process to ensure clarity, engagement, and adherence to brand standards

Results and Impact

  • Enhanced Preparedness: Trainers reported that learners arrived better prepared, enabling a more effective use of classroom time

  • Improved Engagement: Learners appreciated the concise, interactive format and felt more confident tackling the 2-day program

  • Time Savings: The e-learning module reduced the need for basic introductions in the classroom, saving valuable training hours
