This online course exemplifies my ability to design and develop engaging, self-paced, and cohort-based online learning experiences. It incorporates instructional design models such as ADDIE and OK-LCD, frameworks like TPACK and the Kirkpatrick Model, and educational theories including constructionism and constructivism. The course meets high accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1, Section 508) and was developed based on thorough user-insights gleaned from interviews, surveys, and focus groups, highlighting my commitment to collaboration and effective project management.
Furthermore, I oversaw the procurement of all EdTech utilized in the course, ensuring alignment with instructional goals. I collaborated closely with staff on various tasks, fostering a synergistic environment conducive to innovation and efficiency. Additionally, I provided comprehensive training to staff on the technology and skills necessary to fulfill their roles effectively, equipping them to contribute meaningfully to the course's development and delivery.

This Design Document demonstrates my expertise in instructional design by converting text-heavy content lacking defined objectives into a cohesive learning plan. The plan is thoughtfully aligned with assessments, engaging activities, and supporting materials, all considered through the lens of Understanding by Design (UbD) or backward design principles, applying key concepts from the Quality Matters Rubric to ensure high standards of course design and delivery.
Tools Used: Google Docs, Lucidchart
Content Warning: Please be advised that this assessment discusses the appropriate response to individuals who may be homicidal or seeking to harm another person, individuals who are suicidal, and briefly mentions acts of animal abuse and maltreatment.
This assessment highlights my collaborative approach with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to create a rigorous and relevant assessment. It demonstrates my ability to not only comprehend nuanced content but also to distill and convey only the most essential information to learners effectively, and with sensitivity, encouraging desirable on-the-job behaviors. Furthermore, this assessment is directly aligned with an associated Design Document, showcasing my skills in Understanding by Design (UbD), or backward design.
Tools Used: Google Docs
This artifact demonstrates my proficiency in user-centric design, particularly in the application of qualitative research methods. Throughout this project series, I created interview protocols to gather stakeholder input, conducted interviews with both internal and external learners, developed persona maps, analyzed trends, and shared insights with the project team. Importantly, the identities of interviewees in the persona maps have been anonymized. These efforts guided design decisions, ensuring the creation of relevant and engaging learning experiences.

This interactive timeline showcases my ability to design engaging, on-brand eLearning experiences. Learners can interact with the timeline by dragging the slider or using the keyboard arrows to explore the history of Amazon’s company logos from 1995 to 2000. The project includes informative text and images, allowing users to learn about each logo’s evolution. From a technical standpoint, I used number variables, triggers, layers, and states to build the interaction. Visually, the design reflects Amazon’s Prime blue, the orange from their 2000 logo, and the navy blue seen on their website. Since Amazon's fonts are proprietary, I chose Open Sans as a close alternative.
Tools Used: Microsoft Word, Articulate Storyline, AWS3.
This video showcases my expertise in attribution and my skill in creatively remixing digital content to effectively communicate essential information. Produced during my Master's program in Educational Technology at Michigan State University, this project serves as a valuable memory aid and training resource for online course development, focusing particularly on best practices for providing attribution.
Tools Used: Creative Commons, MS Word, iMovie, Prelinger Archives (Remixed), SoundCloud, YouTube.
Organizational Template: LMS Procurement
This template showcases my proficiency in critically analyzing multiple technologies to make recommendations for clients. I recently applied this template in a project where I assisted a client in selecting a Learning Management System (LMS). I began by meeting with the client to comprehensively understand their immediate and future online teaching and learning requirements. Through a series of check-ins and evaluations, I narrowed down the options to a final recommendation, which was detailed in a comprehensive report.
Tools Used: Google Sheets for organizing data, as well as various LMS platforms and their demos for evaluation.
This artifact provides a foundational visual overview of Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Training Evaluation, central to shaping discussions on instructional design best practices in my client engagements. The concepts explored here are poised to inform various projects, exemplified by their recent application in an onboarding initiative aligned with the ADDIE model. Evaluation at each stage is crucial in my approach, facilitating adjustments for maximum impact based on data.
From a technical perspective, this artifact demonstrates my proficiency in Articulate Storyline. Utilizing features such as states, layers, slides, triggers, and variables, I emphasize managing cognitive load by presenting relevant information and employing interactive tab interactions to enhance learner engagement and retention, including a drag-and-drop activity with an accessible alternative. The process began with meticulous storyboarding for each activity, ensuring a structured and coherent design approach. The final assessment incorporates randomized questions from two question banks, and the randomization of both questions and answer choices serves as a deliberate strategy to maintain challenge and validity, ensuring robust evaluation of learner understanding.
Learning Objective Supported:
Identify which phases of the Kirkpatrick Model are associated with an instructional design task.
