Tools Used: Thought Industries (LMS)

My Role: Instructional designer and developer

Summary: MinesProEd courses are designed for professionals, especially those in STEM, who are advancing in their careers, changing careers, or pursuing professional development.

Challenge: The organization had obtained a series of instructor-led trainings that required significant changes to content and activities to be relevant to the online Mines ProEd context and current best practices. The Virtual Team Building course is for professionals who are entering a management position.

Solution: I used the ADDIE model to design the learning objectives and outline that were relevant to the audience, based on the analysis information from the lead designer on this project. To adapt the content from the ILT, I researched best practices for virtual teams so I could write relevant activities, scenarios, and quizzes. To connect the content with real-life situations, I developed a checklist for virtual meetings and a worksheet (with sample answers) for learners to reflect on a virtual team challenge they experienced and identify an action plan for future situations.

My Role: Instructional designer, e-Learning developer, subject matter expert (I am a harpist)

Summary: This course shows harp students the steps for how to change harp strings. 

Challenge: Beginner harp students who are under college age often do not know how to change broken harp strings. When a string breaks, some students skip practicing or their parents take the harp to a harp technician, which is unnecessary and costs time and money. Demonstrating string changing during lessons takes up lesson time.

Solution: I created a course that will teach learners how to change strings correctly and will serve as a reference for students to practice string changing when not at lessons. The course is a supplement to required real-life string changing practice.

My Role: Instructional designer, e-Learning developer

Summary: The Pulmonis Learning Project supports respiratory therapy students preparing for their board examinations.

Challenge: To pass their board exams, students need efficient, effective study materials based on the exam matrix. The extubation e-learning module is part of a series of modules that cover the main exam topics.

Solution: The self-paced module helps students review the extubation procedure and three post-extubation treatments. Knowledge checks reinforce key information and provide immediate feedback. The explainer video summarizes the main points of the extubation module for quick review and recall during exams.

Tools Used: Rumie-Build (authoring tool)

My Role: Instructional designer, researcher, writer

Summary: Rumie offers a library of microlearning lessons on career and life skills for a global audience. As a Learning Designer, I create lessons on learning objectives that are relevant to Rumie's audience.

Challenge: Learners who are pressed for time or use mobile devices need a short summary on a topic and actionable steps so they can apply what they learned.

Solution: I research each topic and summarize the main points in a clear, concise write-up that takes 9 minutes or fewer to read. The visual layout is designed for both computer and mobile users.
