My instructional design process begins with the discovery and documentation of your needs and goals. I then apply relevant learning theories to outline, draft content and blueprint the course, leading to a working storyboard. Once approved, I develop the prototype with an iterative review process. This ensures a product that hits the target when delivered for implementation.
My process
I have a strong foundation in both adult and young learners’ needs and relevant learning theories, built from years as a teacher, trainer, curriculum developer, and school administrator.
I think in terms of backward design, diverse learners and learning styles, relevance and relatability. My prior career, as a corporate marketing research analyst and a nonprofit communications director, helps me build projects to meet the audience/market need with authentic, targeted, persuasive messaging. Marrying the creative and the analytical, I design and generate learning content and experiences to meet client needs while keeping it fun and engaging.
In addition to instructional design, I teach Psychology, Theory of Knowledge, and History at the International School of Boston. I have a Masters in theology, and in my free time I investigate the intersection of contemporary beliefs, values, and “believability”, and coordinate a men’s group.
