With a background in corporate and instructional writing, she can guide your project through the entire development process from instructional design, to storyboarding, to development in Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, or other tools. Take a look at some of her past projects.
Office 2016 Courses
|
In association with a third-party course provider, I developed comprehensive materials for training on Office 2016 products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Access). The courses include instructor-led training materials (instructor guide, training manual, PowerPoint slides and Quick Reference Sheets) as well as a self-paced version available via eLearning (developed in Articulate Storyline 2).
This sample is an excerpt from the Excel Essentials course. Tools used for this project: Word, PowerPoint, Audacity, Articulate Storyline 2. |
SaaS Knowledgebase Articles and How-to Videos
|
InvoiceSherpa is a SaaS solution to automate accounts receivable activities.
I built out the knowledgebase with accompanying how-to videos for important tasks and processes. Tools used for this project: FreshDesk, Camtasia, Audacity. |
Software Getting Started Guide and Video Series
|
SketchList 3D is a custom woodworking and cabinet design software that helps both do-it-yourselfers and woodworking pros create beautiful designs that save hours over planning projects by hand. A better Getting Started Guide was designed to help improve the conversion ratio of free trials to paid users. The Getting Started Guide included the procedures for the primary basic processes for using the software. The project included the analysis, design, development, and implementation of an HTML-based help and a PDF guide, with linked tutorial videos for 8 tasks important for the new user to learn.

Adobe Captivate Custom eLearning Development
|
This project included several case studies in the health education field. It includes decisions with branching navigation and custom feedback based on answer choices. Click here to view the sample, which includes the title page, one question and its feedback.
Several additional courses have been developed using the same template and processes. Tools used for this project: Captivate. (Currently using Adobe Captivate 2017) |
Conceptual Video
|
In this project, Strongpoint wanted to reduce the amount of one-on-one training time that customer success consultants provided as part of the process of onboarding new customers. I identified an opportunity to deliver the conceptual training in several on-demand videos, in combination with checklists that both the new customer and the customer success consultant use as they work through the onboarding process for a highly technical product.
Tools used for this project: PowerPoint, Captivate, Audacity. |
Quick Start Interactive Video
|
This project included making several training videos to be included in an app that connects with a bluetooth device, aimed at customers with little experience with technology. This quick start example connects three videos in one overview that explains everything the customers need to do to get started. Click here to view the onboarding overview.
Tools used for this project: Captivate, Camtasia, Audacity, and Storyline 2. |
Design and Development of Commercial Online Course
|
The Trainers Ultimate Toolkit is a complete online program to provide all of the tools you need to launch your corporate (or other) training business. This course will be available for purchase soon.
This project involved instructional design to convert a 3-day instructor-led-workshop to an online course consisting of nine units with correlated audio and implementation guides. It includes over 15 hours of video, presented in small lessons, with activities in the implementation guide designed to help students make their businesses successful with speed. See a video on how to use the course here. Tools used: Adobe Premiere Pro, Word, Wordpress and LearnDash. |
