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 decision yet due to continued questions and concerns, as well as beginner divers.
✏️ The existence of this knowledge gap is evident in SCUBA diving forums, relevant social media posts, relevant content amongst video-sharing platforms, and even the diving habits of non-certified (and some certified) SCUBA diving practitioners.
✏️ 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.
✏️ Upon completion of the first iteration of this course (and prior to the final iteration/project), I made revisions based on several submissions and beta testing groups:
FEEDBACK: IDOL courses Academy Community submission
FEEDBACK: IDOL courses Academy Coach submission
BETA TESTING: Experienced SME (advanced SCUBA divers) beta testing
BETA TESTING: (1) Novice SCUBA divers and (2) interested, non-SCUBA divers
TOOLS: Articulate Rise 360, Canva, Microsoft PowerPoint, iMovie
TIME IN DEVELOPMENT: 3 weeks (120 hours)
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.

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.
