UXU Certificate
As a culmination of studies in Instructional Design, I also completed a Graduate Certificate in User Experience and Usability. Along with several courses in Usability and Prototyping, which are demonstrated above in the Canvas redesign Prototype of the discussion board, and the DC Libraries Usability Report and LIS Site Heuristic Evaluation, and Procedural Analysis and Ask System.
The internship was completed with iDesign an Instructional Design company based out of Dallas, TX. My focus during the internship was on the Learner Experience (LX) of a newly developed competency-based course called LX Pathways. To learn more about LX Pathways and the work I completed along with a full report on the Evaluation of the pilot module, click on the link below.
