Selected Work Samples.
Family Literacy Lesson Example
Challenge: To introduce adult educators to the Family Literacy Model, preparing them for a more intensive course that does a deep dive into each component of the model.
Solution: Partnering with subject matter experts, I designed a short eLearning module using graphics, interactions, structured language, and an animated video that takes into account that professional experience of the practitioners.
Tools Used: Articulate RISE, Camtasia, Vyond
Virtual Reality Lesson Design
Challenge: To design a series of virtual reality lessons with the educators, students and staff of an adult learning center that focused on GED test material and intersecting career skills.
Solution: With contributions (narrative decisions, script writing, performance capture) from teachers, students, and staff, I designed a lesson structure within the VR environment that incorporated learning objectives, learning content, and knowledge checks within each scenario. These experiences were displayed at a showcase designed to increase student retention and participation in the GED tests.
Tools Used: Engage XR, Camtasia

Challenge: Draft and produce a short video that presents the importance of how communicating with families and students can affirm their identity and skills.
Solution: I developed this video in collaboration with a SME, drafted the script, generated the narration with AI, and developed the animation using Vyond. This was just one element of the program, but was a valuable addition to our program and philosophy of a multimodal approach.
Tools Used: Vyond
