Most of the successful people I know struggle with perfectionism. They are brilliant, they produce great work, but sometimes they fall short of getting their work done at all because they fell into a perfectionist sinkhole. I’m here to tell you: Perfectionism is a trap! I understand the urge. I experience it myself. Here’s the […]
I’ve just updated my academic library’s library orientation tutorials, the Spark Tutorials, for the 2018-19 school year! These are the third iteration of the Spark Tutorials as they exist today. And I just realized – I’ve been developing elearning for five years now! I’ve been developing elearning with Articulate Storyline since 2013. I’ve also been using […]
In my last post, I talked about how I created a single-session leaderboard from scratch in Storyline. I just couldn’t help myself and I decided to keep working on it. The single-session version of the leaderboard was pre-populated with names to give the sense of competition, but scores were only stored in that browser during […]
As the Instructional Design Librarian at CSUF, I often work with other departments on elearning projects. Last month I was asked by the director of Online Education and Training to partner with her on an online digital display recognizing CSUF faculty that adopted Open Educational Resources. It was a great project! We surveyed the students […]
I am a solo instructional designer at my library. I love instructional design and elearning development, but I don’t have as much time for it as I would like! I love using Storyline to build tutorials and courses, but it’s become too burdensome to maintain existing courses while also creating new ones. I am involved in […]
I design a lot of learning experiences, but usually they’re accessed directly by users with the web address, or via our LMS. But what if you were asked to design a learning experience that would live on a computer kiosk, waiting for passersby to engage? I wrote recently about my experience re-designing my Open Access […]
Open Access Week is almost here! To celebrate, another librarian asked me to update our existing Open Access Jeopardy game with additional questions and another round. (Note: I’m not responsible for the questions [some of them are crazy], only for developing the game). I originally developed OA Jeopardy from an amazing Jeopardy template created by E-Learning Heroes […]
I’ve been working on an APA citations tutorial for almost two years now. Yes, two years. I started an APA citations tutorial in Storyline in November 2015. There was a long hiatus in there somewhere, and then a complete change-of-course altogether. I’ve only been ready to show this project since July. I was fortunate to upgrade […]
I regularly submit my tutorials to ACRL Instruction Section’s PRIMO Database, which peer-reviews instructional materials created by librarians. I’ve been very fortunate to have several accepted! My Spark Tutorial “Finding Articles and Databases” scored high enough on the reviewer rubric to be selected as a Site of the Month for June 2017! Read my interview […]
One of my projects got a shout-out in American Libraries! My Pollak Library eLearning site, a local learning object repository for information literacy, was included as an example of a WordPress-based info literacy toolkit.
