E-learning Templates

I created several Powerpoint templates while doing contract work in instructional design. The Analysis Phase Template contains slides for identifying and tracking your needs and audience analyses. The Design Phase Template contains slides for brainstorming solutions and answering your HMW questions.

Course on Blended Online Learning and Teaching

Two resources I use to develop effective online courses are the Quality Matters rubric and the QOLT (Quality Online Learning & Teaching) rubric. While working at San Diego State University I created a condensed version of the QOLT rubric and reorganized the objectives to follow a timeline for course development and delivery (instead of being grouped by type). In addition to this short guide, I developed an online course for San Diego State University's BOLT (Blended Online Learning & Teaching) program. This snapshot is taken from one of the eight units in the course.

Logic & Critical Thinking Unit

Sometimes non-technical elements can engage learners just as well as (if not better than) technical ones. When appropriate, I include elements like analogies, stories, demonstrations, and examples to create memorable material. In a unit on logic and critical thinking geared towards 18-24 years olds, I wrote several examples to help learners connect what they were learning to their pre-existing knowledge and real lives. I developed this course in Canvas and used custom CSS to give it a consistent look and feel.

Cyberforensics Course

One of my goals is to create activities and assessments that are as close to real-life scenarios as possible so that learners can easily transfer what they learn to their real lives. In this case, I worked with a subject matter expert in computer forensics to present learners with virtual crime scenes and scenarios for a basic introduction to digital forensics. The course was originally developed in Blackboard as a proof-of-concept and eventually finalized in Bridge.

Adapt Lesson

I used Adapt to create this Guide To Research In Instructional Design and partnered with my colleague and friend, Elly Schofield, to pull together some tips for analyzing the research done in instructional design. This project was used to explore and test Adapt and xAPI.

Job Aids

One of my responsibilities is to develop job aids for new and infrequent users. ParScore's Item Analysis Report (pictured here) is one of the job aids I created for faculty and staff at San Diego State University. This report can be difficult to digest so this guide served as a handout we could share as well as something we could use to point out and explain specific items that faculty could use to analyze their students' test results.

Another document I developed entailed creating accessible Word documents and PDFs using Word 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9. This was implemented up until 2014 as a printed document for faculty, staff, and new student assistants.

Videos

This image is of a Video Resource Guide I created on behalf of iDesign. This guide supplemented my presentation at InstructureCon 2016 and contains tips and resources for getting instructors more comfortable with recording video (we went with InstructureCon's camping theme in case you were wondering why there are so many camping-related images!).

Scavenger Hunt

The Feast Scavenger Hunt is a collection of videos I designed and developed with a team while I was pursuing a certificate in educational technology. These videos are scattered throughout the New Children's Museum in San Diego and make up a portion of our interactive game called "Feast Scavenger Hunt". Each video introduces an installment of the exhibit and is accessible using a QR reader. It ends with a letter the guest can collect in order to discover a secret word and earn a prize. This design encourages visitors to explore the entire museum and helps them learn more about each installment. I love having this project around to remind me that educational aids can be used creatively in physical spaces!
