Over the past several years, I have worked to hone my skills as an Instructional Designer. In 2016, in my role at the district level, I began using Canvas to create district-wide professional learning opportunities for the high school English teachers I worked to support. As I worked to cultivate engaging training opportunities, my passion for online learning became apparent. As a lifelong learner, I decided to pursue my masters in Instructional Technology in 2018. My passion for design, my knowledge of adult learning theory, and my desire to surround myself with organized processes helped me continue to build my skill set. At the same time I was pursuing my masters, I accepted a role at an educational non-profit. We received a grant to build an online learning portal hosing learning opportunities for ELA and math educators across the nation. I worked my way from the lit review of best practices for asynchronous learning to the development of the logic model, to the research of platforms (both LMS and survey systems). Below, you’ll see a sampling of the content that came from that. In the summer of 2019, I launched our LMS, an ELA course I built, and a math course I helped co-design. From there, we’ve grown our courses from two to five that we offer every spring, summer, and fall. As a small non-profit, it was important that we grew the knowledge of others on staff so they could help build courses. I’ve included below the project plan, job aid, and sample course videos I developed for the facilitator training program.
