GroupHealth e-learning	My contract with MediaPro began with the GroupHealth Project. This project involved building learning modules to instruct doctors, nurses and other hospital staff in the proper use of their new patient management software. The course called Epic Training consisted of actual screen shots of GroupHealth’s patient management software program during usage. The courseware consisted of interactive visual and audio instruction, summaries, knowledge checks and quizzes. The procedure for building a course module involved meeting with the instructional designer who would provide screens shots and a PowerPoint storyboard which contained the text and desired layout of the module. It was my job to then take this information and develop it into a self contained courseware module using PhotoShop CS to prepare screenshots and Dreamweaver MX 2004 to develop the lessons and interactivity.

verizon staffing e-learning	After the GroupHealth project concluded, I remained with MediaPro and helped with the Verizon Staffing project. This was a courseware project that involved teaching Verizon management procedures for staffing issues. This project included interactive instructional design using PhotoShop, JavaScript and DHTML. I built several lesson modules within the Verizon Staffing project. I worked with Instructional Designers using their PowerPoint storyboards as a guide to develop these lessons. Often there were graphics that need to be created, which usually involved searching for a suitable image from the images database and adding the appropriate treatments per the storyboard. At times, I would also amend Flash files that contained templated quizzes. A great deal of the work included layer manipulation to create interactivity and an interesting learning environment. There was a strong focus on accuracy, visual aesthetics, and creative dynamic functionality. Read Accolades
microsoft commitment setting e-learning	I developed this courseware which included 7 lesson modules and an assessment test and a spinoff standalone lesson called CPE. The course was interactive, having the user participate in the learning process by clicking on or rolling over the screen to receive addition information, entering text in fields to compare answers with the experts and answering questions and allowing the user to receive immediate feedback. I also added the audio tracks (voiceovers) to the courseware. The original voiceovers were made at a recording studio and supplied to me in the form of .wav. I converted the files with Sound Forge and added them to each screen using Flash MX 2004 and Dreamweaver. Much of the audio was coded to play when the page loaded; however, some audio had to play when an event happened on screen, like a mouse click or rollover. Accessibly was an issue for this project and I was responsible to ensure that the entire courseware had the coding correct to offer the best user experience for persons who where blind and using browsers for the blind or screen readers.

microsoft business desktop deployment	Microsoft’s Business Desktop Deployment was a huge Flash development project involving a large team of Flash developers, graphic artists, QA specialists and project managers. I was originally tasked to do quality assurance testing on this courseware but as the project unfolded I was asked to help out in other aspects as well. For instance, I did a majority of the transcripts for the entire course. These were transcribed on notepad and then dynamically brought into the lesson in Flash using Action Scripting. The transcripts were accessible to the user at anytime by clicking on a link within the courseware menu. Near the end of the project I was asked to help out with some of the modules by developing introduction and summary pages, adding graphic treatments to screens and amending templated quizzes per storyboard specifications. read accolades
