eLearning
I have been developing instructional materials with the latest technologies since 2011, back when Moodle was still gaining a foothold in the Ashland School District as a new Learning Management System. Since then, I have become a self-taught Instructional Design artist, utilizing a variety of tools to create eLearning solutions for adults and adolescents alike.
Articulate Storyline
Storyline 360 is an industry-standard authoring software for instructional designers. Due to current limitations, I am unable to share work I have completed for my most recent client. Not to say I don’t dabble in eLearning Heroes Challenges from time to time to enhance and practice my skills. Check out my most recent creation in response to #459: Using Photo Mosaics to Design Interactive Stories.
Genially
Genially is a powerful no-code platform for interactive visual communication. Surprisingly, I have never utilized this tool until 2024. As part of a learning assignment associated with the IDOL Academy’s Certification Program, I created an interactive infographic showcasing Merril’s First Principles of Instruction.
Canva
Who would have ever thought of Canva as an eLearning authoring tool? As an experiment for my Game Development students, I created a series of short tutorial videos and demonstrations to help learners build a simple platformer game using GDevelop. It was a successful learning solution and confirmed the idea that short videos and demonstrations are the best way to reach young learners.
