Learning Design
I'm an instructional designer and
e-learning developer.
I'm eager to help make your life easier and your business successful by helping you solve those nagging performance problems. I'm curious by nature and a growth-minded lifelong learner. Let me help lighten your load. It'll be fun!
Take a moment to browse my portfolio and see the high-caliber work I produce. You'll find a detailed write-up of my needs analysis process with an actual client, design documents, storyboards, e-learning courses built in Articulate Rise and Storyline, as well as job aids.

My Design Process
I follow the ADDIE and SAM models to create learning solutions from start to finish.

Needs Analysis
A thorough needs analysis is always my first step. I will work with you to define a SMART business goal that also aligns with the problems you're observing.
I employ the following techniques in this stage of the process:
-
Action mapping and design thinking
-
Data analysis
-
Learner analysis and learner personas
-
Task analysis
-
Surveys
-
Interviews
-
Focus groups
-
Observations

Design
At the intersection of a needs analysis and designing the learning solution is creating a design document. If training is a solution to the business problem, we determine what type(s) and the content outline.
The following are essential to this stage of the process:
-
Kirkpatrick's levels of evaluation
-
SMART learning objectives
-
Scenario-based questions aligned to learning objectives
-
Backwards design
-
Adult Learning Theory
-
Gagne's nine events
-
Storyboarding for e-learning
-
Iterative design using SAM

Develop
SAM is also important in the development stage. I develop the learning solution and ask for feedback, working through alpha, beta, and gold versions, until we have a solid learning deliverable. The following are tools I utilize in this stage:
-
Articulate Rise 360
-
Articulate Storyline 360
-
Camtasia
-
Vyond
-
PowerPoint
-
Canva
In Storyline I create engagement through continuous, mini, and branching scenarios, accordions, zoom regions, motion paths, lightboxes, freeform drag and drops, freeform knowledge checks, and more.

Implement and Evaluate
To begin implementation, I publish the developed deliverables. If it is an e-learning course, I publish the SCORM files and pass them along to be uploaded to the LMS.
After the allotted implementation time has occurred to meet our business goal, I collaborate with you to determine the learning solution's effectiveness. The following are essential to evaluating the learning solution:
-
Data analysis
-
Kirkpatrick's levels of evaluation
-
Determine strengths of the solution
-
Determine areas of growth and/or needed changes
-
Make plans to implement changes
Lastly we celebrate our success and turn our focus to the next problem to be solved!
