Written in the stars

Overview

Written in the Stars is a Storyline based astrology game. The game includes a custom-built drag-and-drop activity. Building out the drag-and-drop activity allowed for signs to match with each other.

Design theory & Development

To design this project, I custom built images in Adobe Illustrator.

Experience the Project

This course was designed using ADDIE and Action Mapping. The SME
and I worked to determine design goals and then I created a
storyboard in Adobe XD, a script, and project design guide. Custom
images were designed in Adobe Illustrator. Once complete, the course
was developed in Storyline.
I used JavaScript and xAPI to track user
selections to determine any gaps in learning, timing, pass/fail grades, a
leaderboard, and create a completion certificate.

Style Guide

Overview

A Storyline based course for Crystal Sefcovic Photography. I used the
SAM model to convert a PDF file into a storyline course. The course
includes knowledge checks, a drag-and-drop model, and information
clients need for a photo shoot.

Design theory & Development

First, I made a Storyboard of the project using the SAM method to fine-
tune elements she needed from her PDF document. We paired down
some unnecessary items so that her clients could easily navigate for the
items they needed to see.
I used Adobe XD to develop an outline. Once
she was satisfied with my outline, I completed the project in Storyline. I
used Adobe Illustrator to edit vector images to use for the Style Drag
and Drop.

atd workbook

Overview

The ATD Workbook is designed to assist chapter members in their Professional Development. This workbook provides opportunities for note-taking and record-keeping of their experiences throughout the year. It is designed to boost engagement and participation in our local chapter.

Design theory & Development

For this project, I created custom images using Canva and then imported them into Adobe. In Adobe, I designed a customized form that calculates the overall participation of our members. This workbook will help our members stay on track and increase their chances of winning a year-end prize.

About

Welcome,

It’s great to have you here. As an Instructional Designer, my
passion is increasing learner engagement and achievement
through virtual and instructor-led training. I am passionate about
professional development and serve as President of the Detroit
ATD chapter.


I have a strong background in Instructional Design, including
creating multiple orientation programs and many HR-related
courses. My favorite eLearning experiences have been mixed
media projects where I’ve used several platforms to create Meta
learning experiences.


I like to keep busy with my husband and kids in my spare time. I
enjoy watching the Detroit Lions, weightlifting, playing board
games, speaking German, and spending time with family and
friends.


I look forward to connecting with you!
