DESIGN

Working with a SME to design relevant, meaningful learning is my favorite role in ID. If I could choose one role, Design would be it, although I would like to stay involved throughout the process. While it is about the look and feel, content is king. Working with SMEs to craft that content with relevant application towards the learning outcome; always, always designing towards the objectives, is paramount. As well, is the integration of technology, and the choices made towards that end. All the bells and whistles amount to silence if in the end, the learning objectives are not achieved. At the same time, failure to engage is also the downfall of poor course design. To that goal, I try to keep the content relative and engaging, following Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction. Organization and easy navigation are also of utmost importance in course design.

This PDF contains a design storyboard document from my Capstone project, Digital Photography Fundamentals; a course I am designing and developing with my local community college. Although I worked with a photography instructor SME in the Analysis phase, I also took the role of SME, having won Sports Photo of the Year and Masters Education at Brooks Institute. I also worked with the design team at Adobe, integrating beta software, Adobe Character Animator. Here is my tutorial on the software, and if you want a lens into the Canvas LMS, email me with your email address to add your name as an Observer.
