Aug 2010 - Present, Innovatia Inc.• Lead writer & designer for eLearning and instructor-led training courses• Expert developer in Articulate Storyline• Expert developer in GoAnimate• Extensive creative background in film & video• Familiar with Accessibility solution considerations and available options• Familiar with eLearning trends in gamification and the application of gamification principles to learning, and/or creating game-based learning• Skilled creator of quizzes and assessments• Experienced manager and coordinator of large teams of junior/intermediate instructional designersSummary: Successful eLearning is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution. Every client has unique needs and wants, and each successful project begins with strong research and equally strong communication between the client, stakeholders, audience, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). As a Lead Designer, I research and analyze a client’s needs, and create a high-level design document or learning plan, which outlines topics, objectives and a clear structure for a new program. Next, I create more detailed designs and Storyboards with graphics, onscreen text, audio, and specific animations and learning interactions. In addition to being a Lead Instructional Designer, I am a skilled Storyline and GoAnimate developer with the ability to take a project from the design stages discussed above, through multimedia development, to the final end product delivered to you and placed in a Learning Management System (LMS). It’s my job to ensure quality and consistency and bring innovative vision and 'value-added' insight to every project.
