My primary job is to design and develop effective online and classroom learning experiences using engaging content, activities and assessments that maximize knowledge transfer and retention. Actually, I go a bit further up the levels of Blooms taxonomy and aim for complete comprehension, application, and synthesis levels for most of my courses. In other words - subject mastery. I often coordinate with a combination of subject matter experts, graphic artists and animators, audio / video crew and other designers. My company’s standard practice is both iterative and agile, most often using a blend of the SAM, ADDIE, and Rapid Prototyping models. Our general technique looks more like an iteratively-adapted ADDIE, however we often begin with a SAM "savvy start," and RP is our storyboarding process of choice. Our designs almost invariably apply advanced knowledge acquisition and memory transfer techniques that reflect our keen interest in current advances in educational neuroscience. In fact, we consider most of our development to be "boundary work" between the fields of cognitive psychology, educational neuroscience and traditional pedagogical / androgogical methodologies.We begin by working with the internal or external customer to identify their instructional goals and the specific needs of their target audience. We then work to plan and visualize the instructional graphics, user interface, and the final product. We conduct instructional research and analysis on learners and the unique aspects of their contexts. We apply the latest in tested instructional design theories, practice and methods to create exercises, activities, and assessments that enhance the learning process. The final product can be tailored to most LMS / LDS systems including those that adhere to SCORM, TinCan and AICC standards as well as those that don’t.
