Where I work

Trainer, course facilitator & online tutoring

LMS administration

Training evaluation (needs assessment, impact, satisfaction)

Design and develop courses and

learning resources

• I focus on using a vast array of strategies to keep leaners engaged

and help them achieve better learning outcomes:

– Define learning objectives that are actions, not information

– Design relevant activities that allow learners to apply what they learned and

achieve learning goals

– Use a variety of activities (Absorb, Do, Connect)

– Apply the multimedia principle, stimulating more than one sense (graphics,

videos, narration)

– Explore social media tools to enhance collaborative learning

– Use Web Writing Techniques

– Apply the Inverted Pyramid Method, structuring the information according to its

importance

Labeled graphic

Highlights the key aspects on an image or diagram.

This one explained the learners how to navigate through the course.



Interactive diagram

These diagrams allow the learners to see how the main concepts of a subject are related and to explore more

information.



Virtual tutor with narration

A virtual tutor, with narration, to guide the learners through the content highlighting the most important aspects. Keep

learners engaged.



FAQs and glossaries

FAQs and glossaries are a a must-have resource in any course. The learners can easily find definitions and

explanations to key words or terms related to the topic they are studying.



Videos

Videos where the tutor highlights the most important aspects of the course/topic and motivates the learners.



Tailor-made diagrams

Tailor-made diagrams illustrate the key-concepts of a subject and show how they are related. This one explained the

different phases of a legal process. It's the application of the multimedia principle (Mayer, 2001): one learns best when

they combine words and graphics.



Information organized into different levels

Information organized into different levels, allowing the learners to focus on the main topic or explore further. Key

aspects about the topic highlighted.

Use of the inverted pyramid method: important information comes first.



Course maps

Course maps to help the learners navigate throughout the course. Different types of maps/menus allowed a non linear

navigation.



Collaborative learning

Use social media tools to enhance collaborative learning and knowledge sharing. In these example I used a wiki

(PBWorks).



Online assessments

Online quizzes, tests and surveys with different question types. This one was created using Blackboard.
