Through the use of analogy that slowly transitions to the 'real world' examples, learners can be introduced to the Person Business Rules in a problem-based learning construct
The original online training material was a powerpiont developed in 2001 for face-to-face courses and then converted to an online presentation using Adobe presenter.
Scenario based instructional modules were designed to both provide the learner with more practice and provide the manager with learning data on real-world problems.

Person Business Rules
​​
The Person Business Rules define the data integrity rules for person data in the Washington State Courts database. If people in the database are not inputted into the database in a consistent manner, or matched to arrest record in a consistent manner, the wrong person can be arrested or worse, the real offender can go free.
Previous versions of PBR material were targeted towards declarative or process knowledge. Through task analysis, it was determined the appropriate learning task was 'domain specific problem solving' as defined by Smith and Ragan (2005)
Click and read tutorials were redeveloped into a multi-level serious game format that led learners through highly sequenced problem sets, providing links to process and declarative knowledge where necessary.
Job aids were developed to assist learners with just-in-time information after the completion of the learning game
First 30 Days Project
​​
Designed for new Washington State Court employees, this set of modules is designed to deliver the knowledge, skills and abilities they need to handle the data integrity issues and customer service issues that arise on a daily basis.
Built using Captivate 5.5, 6 & 7, Flash, Presenter and delivered through Adobe Connect, this set of modules push the boundaries of what the judiciary was used to. AICC compliant reporting was used to track learner progress through the modules so learning managers could diagnose learning problems, assess knowledge and skill level with the proprietary technology, and track their people through the multiple training modules.
All interface items (buttons, backgrounds, etc) as well as all Captivate and Flash modules were developed by me.

This document visually represents the process for development of online modules from the initial request through the beta-test and rollout. All tasks are categorized by 'swimlanes' to define who is involved with each step. Additionally, the document numbers are defined for the steps that require documentation.
A text-based overview of the development process, broken into the three phases.
this document is the initial findings of the assessment portion (of ADDIE). It is developed at the end of the preparation phase of the instructional design model so that stakeholders and managers have an idea of general scope and size of the proposed solution. this also serves as a sign-off opportunity for funding sources to commit resources to the next phase of the project...the iterative design phase.

ID Process Upgrade
​​
A form of the ADDIE process was being used by the education professionals in the unit when I arrived. This model was poorly documented, lacked project management criteria, applied in a haphazard manner and without clear communication with stakeholders. I was tasked with developing process and documentation for development of online content
I took the existing ADDIE model and combined it with Michael Allen's Successive Approximation Model (SAM). I developed supporting documentation with project management and Instructional Design controls and created workflows to streamline the development process.
Case For Christ Learning Events
​​
Designed for congregants in a mid-size, contemporary church, the goal of the project was to inspire the congregants to begin discussions with each other and others in the community about reasons for their faith. Based on the book of the same name by Lee Strobel, 12 30 to 45 minute lessons were designed to be delivered at Wednesday evening services in a sequential format.
To facilitate discussion during and after presentation of the material, 'Live Events' from YouVersion were used to allow those with mobile devices to interact with the content during the presentation. Though the use of live opinion polls, questionnaires and other live interactions, data from congregants in attendance could then be aggregated and projected live during the presentation, allowing the instructor to facilitate discussions based on the needs of the congregants in attendance.
During the course of each lesson, all those who were following along with mobile devices were asked to participate in a poll. The poll results were then projected in real time. those without mobile devices participated through a show of hands.
The entire presentation was loaded into the mobile app with each point in the outline becoming one section in the app version. Each section could then be commented on by the congregants and could be either private or a shared comment.
