As the Lead Instructional Designer, I was responsible for meeting with subject matter experts throughout the duration of the project to write content, refine provided material, and provide maintenance updates. I managed multiple external teams to ensure interactive content and page builds were completed on-time and to desired standards, providing quality control assessments and updates at regularly scheduled team meetings.
As a Developer on the project, I was responsible for creating the overall look, color scheme, and functionality of the course.
I created a template, using material that I wrote and developed, to create a page demonstrating how apps can be used for trafficking.
As a Graphic and Video Designer, I found and created graphics and developed videos for the course. Using provided video of peers narrating page introductions, I would edit together and animate each video, composing green screen elements, adding movement to images and graphics I created and found, and adding and adjusting audio and background music.

With the assistance of a Programmer, I led the build of the responsive pages and created new interactions from the original material. Additionally, I created new videos and added new images and graphics to the courses.

As a Developer, I programmed the non-linear course’s complex interactions within Captivate using Advanced Actions and custom JavaScript.
Using a custom scoring template provided by another programmer, I was responsible for implementing its functionality within the course and ensuring that it provided grading potential within the desired LMS.
Having developed the functionality and being the most knowledgeable employee on the contract in terms of utilizing Captivate’s capabilities, I was responsible for developing standards documents and providing technical support to the other developers on my team. I was the “go-to person” when it came to resolving problems and final course implementation. When issues arose in implementing animated avatars requiring transparencies into Captivate, I found and implemented the solution that resolved the issue.
