    I design online training that can be used to train clients, employees, students, or any audience with your learning requirements. Whether you're building training & development, onboarding; re-designing an old course, or building a completely new course from scratch, my instructional design process includes adult learning theory, teaching pedagogy, and social psychology approaches to building great learning experiences for your learners- it's the foundation of my work. I enjoy using tools like Articulate Rise 360, Canva, Figma, and Vyond to develop online trainings. These tools help me to use animations, graphics, images, and text, to make the trainings engaging, interactive, relevant and appealing. In other words, I like to make sure that the learner learns easily, loves the process of learning, and gets exactly what you are looking for! 👌 What's my process? Most content I receive from clients comes to me as 'long pages of incomprehensible text' about some policy, product instructions, an entire product, lists of skills, or a list of bullet points. In my process, I break your information down into small chunks, connect the dots with a story (i love storytelling), include updated graphics, infographics and images/animations that transform what used to be boring text into great learning experience. I create learning experiences that make learning fun for the learners, and meet your expectations. As a TEDx speaker and Speaker Coach, I know how to captivate audiences with engaging content. I start with a simple needs analysis, implement instructional design principles, consider learning theories, integrate learning strategies, build with taxonomies, and utilize evaluation techniques to make sure your learners meet their goals. I have designed learning experiences for some great companies, which have included designing and developing adult training programs, WBTs, VILTs, and also application training programs. From the necessary needs analysis to SME interviews and interactions, to design, development, and project management, I have demonstrated my efficiency in all aspects of the product cycle. Each project in the ID world is vastly different from the other, and each experience is an adventure in itself. Let's bring your e-Learning dreams to life and create unforgettable presentations together. Reach out and let's chat about your project!

    I have been in education for 30 years and have been creating computer and web-based training for adults for over 18 years. Specializing in Captivate and Storyline 360 has allowed me to mesh customer desires with workflow processes quickly and efficiently. While also producing the vision of your end product. Web-based training requires each and every word and interaction to have both lasting and meaningful effects. The clarity in the message from your company and brand is vital and should be reflected in the online learning format. Having worked with many brands, such as major auto manufacturers, insurance companies and other well-known global firms has given me valuable insight into creating purposeful training. How can I help you achieve the goal of web-based training?

    I have a passion for building systems and curricula with excellence. I enjoy working to help clients develop solutions to advance their business objectives and goals. I work as a consultant to provide documentation and analysis that brings efficiency, productivity, and consistent structure to the project or business team. As a Curriculum Developer, I work with my clients to develop a training strategy and plan for training policies, lesson plans, and content standards. I also work with my clients to develop actual curriculum content that is used to develop in-person and online training. As an eLearning Designer, I can create any training videos, self-paced learning, or teaching aids, in any form like PowerPoint, Canva files, or Adobe Captivate student-paced, online training with SCORM compliance. As a learning management administrator, I help clients who find themselves unable to navigate through their systems. I analyze the data found within the system (if there is any) and work with my clients to organize and create professional learning management systems. I act as the administrator by either creating and managing user profiles and groups, or by creating and importing training; complete with professional graphics and covers. Though I primarily work in training and learning management, I also have experience as a business analyst and writer, I can either operate in support of a project manager or as a project manager. I produce several documents that are dependent on the type of project or need the business has. I can build Business Analysis Plans, Business or System Requirements, Test Plans or Use Cases, Gap Analysis, and other Process and Policy Documents. Finally, I have experience as a landing page website designer. I use Wix; however, I have experience in eCommerce-specific platforms too. I have created WordPress, Joomla, and Magento sites. I have also acted as the content creator for clients, including social media posts and cover artwork. Let's connect and see how quickly we can get your business needs met!

What is an instructional designer?

An instructional designer is a professional who uses various tools to communicate with an audience in a way that ensures everyone takes something relevant from the information presented.

  3. Shortlist and interview instructional designers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of instructional designer you need to complete your project.
