Welcome

These are a few of my projects.

The first is a work in progress that involves Instructional Design.

I believe the best learning should start with play.

When we learn to play baseball we don’t study theory for hours before we pick up a bat.

We are propelled by joy and will take on any obstacle when learning is based on pleasure.

This is my goal as a designer.  Engage people with play, then they will want to learn for mastery.

In this vein, the 3D Motion graphics to the right is my current project.  Go ahead…play with it!

Move your curser inside and move the space and look around.  You can rotate this scene in a full 360 degree view.

It is part of an Instructional Design campaign to engage adult learners.   The graphic is responsive to mouse pad and movable.  I’m making some characters that will fit inside and learners can ask them questions and play out scenarios.  This process has involved 3D animation tools, AI, and Articulate 360.  Keep checking back to see my progress!

Human Resilience Meets Developer Origin Story

Online Education Project:  Coconino County–2020

In the year 2020 I was asked to work in Public Health to assist with the
Covid Response.  One of my projects was to create online training that
would allow Food Establishments and River Guides to get the training
that they needed online.

These projects involved:

  • Research on community priorities with multiple
    stakeholders
  • Creating content, tests, payment portals
  • Creating prototypes
  • Hosting options that met community needs
  • Creating databases
  • Testing
  • Going live and assessment

Outcomes:

  • $100,000 revenue for the County
  • Businesses were given an economic lifeline
  • The public had robust access and content

Follow Up:

  • In speaking with customers who took the course I realized
    that scenarios would be a better way to learn.
  • By 2022 there was a new threat concerning  a Norovirus
    Outbreak in the canyon.   As the investigation was being
    conducted we were able to post preventative safety data
    online for the public and the river guides.
  • The system continues to provide services for the community.
