Design &
Development
These two courses are my favorites in this portfolio because of the heart and soul put into each one. I chose them for the Design and Development category because the first, The Alabama Coastal Foundation, contains the process from a high level design document to a storyboard to the actual eLearning. The second, represents a stellar eLearning solution in order to teach about the selected topic, the tobacco pipe.
In the first module I created a high level design document taking into account the audience and objectives, creating a solution that would meet the needs of the client. In the second, I clearly demonstrated the ability to take an unfamiliar topic and present it to learners employing diverse instructional methods including the use of gamification by creating a store where learners can purchase a tobacco pipe for themselves.
For the Alabama Coastal Foundation, I thought of a creative solution to use Animoji's from my iPhone to have a character teach about caring for sea turtles. This was a fun workaround for not being an animator that provided an engaging interaction for learners. Additionally, I created a storyboard and planned every interaction prior to developing the content. The storyboard, high level design document and eLearning course are all linked here.

In the Tobacco Pipe eLearning, I demonstrated Design Thinking by calling the menu, a lounge and creating a relaxing atmosphere with music. I created an art gallery for the user to immerse themselves in the subject matter through art and used a pipe as an interactive dial. This course just allows users to explore the world of the pipe in a fun and engaging way. Both of these eLearning courses additionally showcase my visual design skills and ability to utilize Articulate Storyline.
​
The Alabama Coastal Foundation eLearning project stands out as an excellent fit for the Design and Development programmatic theme, supported by a clearly written high-level design document and storyboard. Similarly, the Tobacco Pipe eLearning project demonstrates ingenuity in its user-centric design, positioning it as a solid project for this category.
