PictureBusiness Computer Applications
During the Summer term of 2013, while employed with Lake-Sumter State College, I was heavily involved in a complete course design from scratch. The course, "Business Computer Applications," was one of the first full designs I successfully accomplished. The course took around six weeks to construct and involved strenuous diplomacy with publishers to acquire the materials necessary to complete the course at Quality Matters standards.

Additionally, the course is completely ADA compliant. This means that all videos are captioned, all images have alt text that is readable by a screen reader and additional resources have been provided to ensure that all students, including those with disabilities, have an equal chance at success.

PictureIntroduction to Psychology.
During the Spring term of 2013, while employed with Lake-Sumter State College, I assisted with the redesign of "Introduction to Psychology." This course presented a particular challenge due to the limited content, organization and the older structure of the online deployment of materials. Up to Spring 2013, the course continued to implement a modular design. Module design includes the constant downloading of materials in massive file sizes, and a poorly organized manner of content with a confusing table of content setup.

Now the course follows the award winning "Predictable Design" and meets almost all of the standards on the Quality Matters rubric.
