Instructional Design Projects

Case Study #1: Genially Online Course - Learning Acceleration Basics

The sample above is one of three sections of the full course. Users were able to access short, on-demand learning segments to build their understanding of complex concepts before completing a summative assessment, applying their knowledge to specific classroom scenarios.

Project Format: A 1-hr interactive online course for adult learners created in Genially and hosted on Canvas LMS. The course helps instructors internalize key educational research and apply best practices to implement learning acceleration strategies in their classrooms.

Audience: Education professionals, instructional coaches, and leadership

Process: Using ADDIE and Backwards Design, I analyzed the target audience and developed learner personas to select a microlearning format that would best address the three main outcomes of this course for this group of learners. The course embeds UDL principles and adult learning theories to provide multiple means of action, expression, representation, and engagement through audio and video, formative quizzes with instant user feedback, peer discussion boards, learner choice, and robust accessibility features (transcripts, keyboard navigation, audio narration, closed captions, etc.)

Case Study #2: Camtasia E-learning Video - Positive Behavior Interventions and Support

Office Video.mp4

Project Format: This is one in a series of short-form video tutorials supporting the implementation of a schoolwide behavior system. I used Camtasia to produce the video, audio, animations, and graphics.

Audience: Elementary school students, parents, and teachers.

Process: I collaborated with stakeholders (teachers, parents, school leadership committee) to determine project goals, and leveraged Action Mapping to break down desired behaviors into clear, easy-to-follow steps. I applied the same design and color-scheme to create supporting materials for each video, summarizing key information in concise, visual format.

Case Study #3: Articulate Rise course with AI Integration

Connecting Wildlife Corridors: Benefits and Advocacy for ConservationImagine a world where wildlife can roam freely, ecosystems thrive, and communities play a key role in conservation. Discover how connecting wildlife corridors between public lands and parks can safegu

Project Format: This is a prototype built in Articulate Rise, using AI-assisted design features. The course is a work in development during the month of May, 2026.

Audience: My project inspiration is a wildlife agency training new volunteers to support beneficial legislation at the local and federal levels.

Process: For this prototype of an informational course, I used Articulate's AI features to help design the "bones" of a functioning course.

I researched and read the articles and source documents related to new legislation about wildlife corridors, then selected the main references that would be the basis for my course content, outcomes, and learning goals. From this, Rise's AI features were able to generate a course structure, and provide drafts of learning outcomes, quiz questions and other interactions.

While AI supported this project as a drafting tool, all review, revisions, and fine-tuning of the final product will be completed by the human designer.

Rapid Prototyping - Mockup of an E-Learning Course

Hoover mockup lo-fi Weaver U.pdf

Project Format: This lo-fi prototype was created to gather feedback from stakeholders and make changes to the course before moving to the development phase. Stakeholders could explore this draft of the course to get a sense of the look and feel, including structure, flow, and navigation.

Audience: Project stakeholders (faculty and department chair) in a higher education environment

Process: Using a SAM approach, I built this mockup of the Plagiarism course (storyboard above) in Microsoft Powerpoint. This allowed for visualization of course elements and quick iterations based on the storyboard. Audio narration scripts were included via the transcript button for easy review and editing.

ADDIE: Learner Needs Analysis

This analysis informed the design and development of the Learning Acceleration course (Case Study #1).

K-12 Learning Design, Gamification, and Project-Based Learning

My experience as a classroom teacher provided frequent opportunities to dive into project based learning, improving learner engagement through gamification, and interactive lesson design.

Below are a few samples. You can find my full library of instructional resources at Teachers Pay Teachers.
