The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) is a public resource center and national hub that promotes health equity for people with disabilities (and for all). As the center's Instructional Designer, I design and develop various types of eLearning Courses and learning experiences for a variety of target audiences, actively participating in needs analysis; collaborating with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), stakeholders, and other team members; structuring learning objectives; and designing and developing course content using multiple authoring tools, software programs, and productivity applications.
✏️ This course was an existing eLearning experience at the time that I began working at NCHPAD. After reviewing the existing eLearning catalogue for NCHPAD, I advised the appropriate personnel that this course needed an update, due to the following occurrences:
Use of immeasurable verbs in learning objectives
Inclusion of irrelevant content, increasing cognitive load in leaners
Illogical flow of course content
Lack of an assessment that measures learning
Inclusion of images, charts, and graphs without context
Overall lack of focus and intention in content
✏️ Upon administrative agreement of my findings, we (the content inquiry manager, myself, and others) updated the course using the ADDIE framework to correct these errors and produced a revised learning experience that better aligned with the center's vision and goals.

RADIATE: Raising Awareness to Disability Integrative Approaches Through Education
Also at NCHPAD, the preceding course (Disability Education) plus the following two courses create a learning curriculum called RADIATE: Raising Awareness to Disability Integrative Approaches Through Education.
✏️ The RADIATE curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of disability-inclusive health promotion using a holistic framework that integrates the mind, body, and spirt. Content includes disability-specific strategies for health, wellness education, and coaching, with an emphasis on practical application.
✏️ The target audience includes a variety of health and wellness professionals (e.g., dietitians, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists, personal trainers, etc.), who can complete this this curriculum (and acquire the certificate) to enhance their skillset regarding disability wellness education and coaching.
✏️ The primary purpose of this certification is to bridge gaps between disability education, facets of health in relation to disabilities, and wellness coaching with the hope that participants will gain a holistic understanding of how to navigate and include all 3 main facets of health (mind, body, and spirit) in their professional practice.
✏️ The courses' learning design, which includes a simple scrolling framework in Articulate Rise with interactivity and visuals, was determined by a group of stakeholders at NCHPAD.

What You Should Know About SCUBA Diving
✏️ I developed this course as a personal goal to fill the knowledge gap of vital, accurate information amongst potential SCUBA divers, people who are interested in diving but have not made a definitive decision to pursue a SCUBA Diving Certificate yet due to continued questions and concerns. This course is also applicable to beginner divers who have minimal experience using their certifying program's knowledge and skills in real SCUBA diving experiences.
NOTE: This course is NOT meant to replace official diving instruction. It is meant to provide basic and important information for those seeking to potentially enroll in SCUBA certification classes.
✏️ Observation of Knowledge Gap
I began to notice this potential knowledge gap based on comments in SCUBA diving forums, social media posts, video-sharing platforms, and even within the diving habits of non-certified (and some certified) SCUBA diving practitioners. There seemed to be an alarmingly large number of comments that contained incorrect information regarding industry standard, safe SCUBA-diving practice and knowledge.
✏️ Data Collection and Analysis
In my data analysis, I followed 5 different SCUBA-based accounts each on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube (all with followings between 10,000 to 500,000 people). I tracked every new post each day for 28 days on all of the above mentioned accounts, which equaled between 1 to ten posts a day for an average of 5.27 posts a day. I logged every occurrence of a comment that contained inaccurate information. The rate of posts containing inaccurate (and potentially dangerous) information was, on average, 4.43 comments per every 10 posts. An almost 50% error rate of potentially dangerous information being consume by people with an interest in SCUBA diving is quite alarming.
✏️ Design, Development, and Revisions
Upon completion of the first iteration of this course (and prior to the final iteration/project), I made revisions based on several submissions and pilot testing groups:
FEEDBACK: IDOL courses Academy Community submission
FEEDBACK: IDOL courses Academy Coach submission
PILOT TESTING: Experienced SME (advanced SCUBA divers) beta testing
PILOT TESTING: (1) Novice SCUBA divers and (2) interested, non-SCUBA divers

MY ROLE: needs analysis, research, instructional design, graphic design, development, implementation, and data collection and analysis
✏️ In an effort to utilize Articulate Rise to its full creative potential, I developed this 'Encyclopedia of SCUBA Terms'.
✏️ This course is a companion piece to the course listed above, 'What you should know about SCUBA diving'. This Encyclopedia of SCUBA Terms is a reference tool, both complementing the content in and providing an alternate source of information for the above course.
✏️ Meant to be an immersive experience, learners will find definitions, images, videos, interactivity, and appropriate and relevant links to outside sources.

The Americans with Disabilities ACT, Healthcare Overview and Effective Communication in Healthcare
The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) is a public resource center and national hub that promotes health equity for people with disabilities (and for all). As the center's Instructional Designer, I design and develop various types of eLearning Courses and learning experiences for a variety of target audiences, actively participating in needs analysis; collaborating with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), stakeholders, and other team members; structuring learning objectives; and designing and developing course content using multiple authoring tools, software programs, and productivity applications.
✏️ The following two courses were made in collaboration with Special Olympics International and focus on the role the Americans with Disabilities Act plays in healthcare, (1) from a general perspective and (2) from a communication-specific perspective. The target audience includes professionals who work in a variety of healthcare roles.
✏️ The courses' learning design, which includes an Articulate Level 2 interactivity level and narration-based framework with images and videos, was determined by a group of stakeholders between both organizations.
✏️ NCHPAD creates learning experiences (and resources) that are fully accessible, which is reflected in both of these courses.

Genially
how to write a professional email
✏️ Though it does not have quite the same capabilities of Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate, Genially is an amazing resource in Instructional Design and eLearning.
✏️ 'How to Write a Professional Email' is a course in how to appropriately and professionally draft several types of emails commonly used in the workplace environment.
✏️ This was a personal project of which I felt passionate. The need for proper training or professional correspondence has been evident in all my former positions; it can also be witness on professional networking sites such as LinkedIn.
✏️ During the development of this course, great care was given to the following:
Encourages Intrinsic Motivation by detailing the value and real-life applications of properly constructed professional emails.
Similar elements of information are 'chunked' to maximize learning.
Extraneous elements are avoided to eliminate cognitive overload.
Only elements necessary to support Germane cognitive load are utilized to optimize retention and develop the learner's knowledge base.
