eLearning

"Patty was a little difficult to keep occupied when she was little." 

As an adult? Same. I am always moving, exploring, thinking, and making.  That is why my LXD work specific to eLearning is very gratifying. I am always engaged in something a little different from one day to the next.  

Some days I may be coding in an authoring tool like Adapt, others designing the high-level architecture for a program, others scripting and storyboarding animations, videos, interactions or a branched learning scenario.  This variety keeps me fresh and ready for the next challenge. My love of learning about people’s passions is also fed through my interactions with subject matter experts.

I enjoy being able to create through different mediums, always keeping in mind accessibility, inclusion, neurodiversity, Emotional IQ, and alignment to the mission of the organization and the business requirements and goals of the training.  

The backstory

Some of my favorite memories from childhood-teen years revolve around free fitting stone (no mortar) with my father who was a mason in the sense of being a true craftsman.  

I can still picture him sitting in his lazy boy reading these brown fabric bound books about the geometry of arches and such.  And I vividly remember marching up and down Sunset Blvd. where we had a house while my father was doing restoration work on the Old Chapel at UMass – Amherst.  

When free fitting stone there is something about looking at this pile of inconsistently shaped puzzle pieces and having to imagine, how does this fit together?  Where might there be a need for filler stones (the little bits – like job aids).

I’d like to think I bring that level of craftsmanship to my work with eLearning Design and Development.  

The church, a book that looks like what he used to read, and some free fitted (though not the best work) stone.
