Presentations
I’ve taught in classrooms since 2008 and consider myself a natural when it comes to delivering presentations. Preparation and practice are key. I have delivered virtual professional development sessions for University of Houston-Clear Lake, fielding questions from participants during and at the end of sessions. My work for C2 Technologies and CDC has occasionally called for presenting course prototypes and other project plans.
Video Scripts
My work for C2 Technologies and CDC calls for a lot of video scripting. This includes writing original content, segmenting it as appropriate, and deciding on visuals/graphics, stock footage, transitions, and on-screen text to go with parts of the video. I’ve also written a lot of video scripts for teaching materials and personal projects.
Lesson Scripts
A big part of my work as an instructional designer at CDC/C2 Technologies, as well as University of Kentucky/Human Development Institute, has been writing lesson scripts. I’ve also done a fair bit of lesson scripting for my own teaching. In this capacity, I use my skills with concise writing, chunking and organizing information, and creating formative and summative assessments.
Storyboards
Storyboarding is another part of my work as an instructional designer at CDC/C2 Technologies. I also worked on many storyboards for University of Kentucky/Human Development Institute. This stage is very satisfying because I’m not just writing and organizing content but deciding on form (where assessments will occur, how content will be delivered). This is the more creative and visual part.
Courses
I’ve enjoyed every course I’ve worked on. I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of variety, including topics such as emotional intelligence, conduct and performance management for supervisors, laboratory safety, etc. Many of the courses I’ve worked on have been web-based and self-paced, but I have experience with instructor-led training and other formats as well.
Quality Matters
I have Quality Matters certifications that required intensive course work: Applying the QM Rubric and Peer Reviewer. The courses taught me a lot about optimal course navigation, accessibility, organizing information into appropriate hierarchies, etc.
Artificial Intelligence
This section of my portfolio contains some aspects of my usage of artificial intelligence. My favorite tools currently are ChatGPT, Freepik Pikaso, HeyGen, and Google Notebook LM.
Miscellaneous
This section of my portfolio contains miscellaneous items related to my instructional design or eLearning development work. This includes reports for clients/customers, pre- and post-course assessments, course evaluations, planning documents, etc.
