Design for How Your Business Works

I like to call my design work, ‘designing for the real world’. While I do design to ADDIE principles, I also have the experience to design to tight deadlines, reduced budgets, and continually shifting expectations. I am well versed in project management, deadlines, practical considerations, and resource constraints, as well as those situations that are not covered in the project management textbooks.

Below please find examples of design reflecting both the traditional and rapid methods of design, as well as design for various media.

• Here’s an example of a class which would be distributed to our field staff to teach. It shows my design principles for classroom-based training. My instructional theory is based in the instructor notes.
• Here’s an excerpt from more classical e-learning design for a class.
• Here’s a script for a video course showing design elements blended with the script.
• Here’s a job aid for an instructor-led class designed to be handed out after the class.
• Here’s an example of a portion of a class manual.

Video

Today, video classes serve the needs of our mobile workforce population. Sites such as LinkedIn Learning have shown the popularity and viability of video training courses. Here are some examples of video courses created for my learner community using tools such as Camtasia and Articulate Replay.

E-Learning

Having worked with programs such as Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate, I can create simple to somewhat complex e-learning scenarios, producing training that can be self-paced with items such as quizzes and knowledge checks. Below please find some simple examples of e-learning I have created.
