The multimedia project, “Memory and Learning: Implications for Educators”, provides information on memory including different types, the memory process, and implications for educators to support long term retention. I developed the content for this information after researching different memory types and methods for retention. 

The product includes interactivity and  formative assessment intended for an adult audience to complete with a group and a host.  

The micro-courses were designed using the Florida Department of Education's B.E.S.T Instructional Guide for Mathematics. 

The content in each micro-course is derived from the FL Department of Education (DOE) and also Savvas Learning Company's enVision Math curriculum. 

The target audience is adult learners and the courses are designed to be completed with our without a facilitator.

Flowchart and Storyboard 

The Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning (MTR) Course was designed and created an Instructure LMS platform with a UBD (Understanding by Design) approach. 

This course takes several learning theories into consideration:  Malcolm Knowles' Adult Learning Theory, Engestrom's Activity Theory where the learner seeks "sideways" solutions to reach the learning goal where the instructor is not "all-knowing", also Bandura's Social Theory where observation and collaboration support learning goals. 

Independent Study on the impact of Covid-19 on eLearning students

The following research study was conducted in effort to prove that a mandated quarantine negatively impacted academic performance in mathematics. Throughout this process, I was reminded of the importance of attention to detail and factual evidence-based data removed from bias.  

With the support of a personally sought out data scientist, my hypothesi, being that a mandatory quarantine negatively impacted student performance, was not confirmed.  This information became an asset to my administration and other educators.

This project, though not entirely in alignment with Instructional Design, demonstrates my passion for answers in education, my ability to conduct research while collaborating with Subject Matter Experts, and produce a finish product which is articulate and reviewed carefully.
