Overview of my skills and experience
I have included just a few samples, screen prints, and short explanation on my portfolio page. The page is always changing as create and modify projects for different purposes. If you are looking for a sample of a specific type of project, but don't see it below, please contact me. I most likely have created it or something like it, and am happy to share what I am allowed.
PROJECTS
Title: A request process for SMEs who want to want a custom Interactive Learning Object
Challenge: Instructors were limited in meeting learners needs by the training materials that were provided by a text-book provider, their own skills in multimedia creation, and the time and skills of the in-house professional multimedia team.
Project Goal: Create a college-wide process that would streamline how an instructor would request and complete a revised Agile process for the production of custom interactive learning that would meet all technical specifications for full integration into an LMS course.
Description:
-
Designed a process for faculty to request custom interactive learning solutions that deliver interactive delivery with integrated assessment manipulate/interact with content as part of learning.
Sample ILO Elements:
Interactive Learning Chemistry Lab
The learner is presented with a situation and/or process that needs to be completed. As the learner completes the process, he/she is presented with corrective feedback. The learner can “practice” the process as often as needed, independent of the need for a lab or special location.

Interactive Learning Chemistry Lab!
This sample was created to help prospective clients visualize an Interactive Pre-lab activity in action.
The learner is presented with a situation and/or process that needs to be completed. As the learner completes the process, he/she is presented with corrective feedback. The learner can “practice” the process as often as needed, independent of the need for a lab or special location.
Project Purpose: Analysis of Chemistry student performance indicated that many students were not performing labs as the defined standard because lab book content did not give enough practice for all learners to succeed. I then designed the bold title slides in Microsoft PowerPoint and imported them into Articulate Storyline.
The learner is presented with a situation and/or process that needs to be completed. As the learner completes the process, he/she is presented with corrective feedback. The learner can “practice” the process as often as needed, independent of the need for a lab or special location.
For each scenario, I created a six-panel template—the panels are slide layers that are revealed as the story unfolds. A clickable, curved arrow moves the story forward. I kept the user interaction at a minimum while emphasizing the characters' reactions to the situation. The relatable characters help the learner see themselves in the situation, which keeps them engaged in the story. At the end of each scenario is a "What should X do" question prompt and several possible answer choices.
