Projects, Prototypes, and Research
This page is dedicated to showcasing a variety of instructional design concepts, practical applications, and examples of projects that demonstrate my expertise as an instructional designer. Here, you’ll find samples of my work that highlight my use of diverse tools and technologies, as well as innovative strategies for creating effective and engaging learning experiences. From concept development to final implementation, each example illustrates different facets of instructional design, including curriculum planning, multimedia integration, interactive eLearning modules, and assessment design. This collection reflects both my skills and my commitment to designing impactful learning solutions.
*The work showcased in this section includes tools and practices applied during my graduate-level coursework and practicum experiences.
Applying Color Theory in eLearning Design: A Friends Inspired Palette :
The image provides an overview of the color selection process used for this project. Inspired by the iconic ‘Central Perk’ scene from the popular show FRIENDS, the color palette was carefully chosen to match the atmosphere and aesthetic of this setting. The primary colors used throughout the eLearning design include #A71D2D (red), #2A463E (green), #4F2F47 (purple), #B06D27 (orange), and #63302B (brown).
This project aimed to apply color theory by using an exact palette derived from the selected image. After identifying and extracting these colors, I designed an eLearning course in Adobe XD, utilizing only this palette to highlight the importance of cohesive, signature colors in instructional design. This approach underscores the impact of a consistent color scheme in creating a visually engaging and brand-aligned learning experience.
Discovering Learning Thoeries:
These infographics were created to visually present four key learning theories: Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Connectivism, and Constructivism. Each theory is summarized with a brief description of its learning process, instructional methods, and real-world examples to illustrate how these theories can be applied in educational settings. The goal of the infographics was to provide a quick, engaging overview that makes complex educational concepts easier to understand. The illustrations accompanying each section were designed using Adobe Illustrator, adding a custom visual element that enhances the infographic's appeal and aids in distinguishing between each theory.
Using Contrast in Color Theory for Enhanced Readability:
This image demonstrates the use of contrast in color theory to enhance text visibility against different background shades. Each rectangle features the word "Hello" in both black and white text, displayed over varying shades of blue-green.
Color theory principles show that light text on a dark background (such as white "Hello" on dark blue-green) and dark text on a light background (black "Hello" on light blue-green) create high contrast, making the text easier to read. Conversely, using dark text on a darker background or light text on a lighter background results in lower contrast, which reduces readability.
This contrast technique is essential in design, especially for accessibility, as it ensures text stands out clearly and can be easily read by users.
Learning Design Experience Project:
This design project was created as a hypothetical exercise to develop a course outline and build a sample training module using Articulate Storyline. The project’s objective was to identify a relevant issue and design a training solution to address it. In this case, the issue identified was the limited use of modern technology in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, prompting school administration to consider a training program to introduce teachers to new technology applicable to CTE.
The project plan follows the ADDIE model of instructional design—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—providing a structured approach to the training’s creation. Additionally, learning objectives were crafted in alignment with Bloom's Taxonomy to ensure a clear progression of knowledge and skill development throughout the training.
