Design

This page highlights my journey in creating innovative and effective learning solutions. I have engaged in the design and development of instructional materials and technologies that address diverse learner needs and promote meaningful learning experiences. My work spans from designing interactive learning environments to developing tools that integrate cutting-edge technologies. These projects reflect my commitment to applying design principles, user-centered approaches, and iterative development processes to solve real-world educational challenges. Explore this section to see the projects and experiences that have shaped my skills in instructional design, multimedia development, and performance solutions, showcasing my ability to transform ideas into impactful learning interventions.

Empowering ESL Teachers Through Digital Portfolios

I designed a one-day professional development workshop that introduced ESL teachers to digital portfolios using Google Sites. The session guided participants through creating their own ePortfolios, embedding multimedia resources, and reflecting on their teaching practices. By the end of the workshop, teachers built functional portfolios to showcase their instructional growth, integrate technology into their classrooms, and support ongoing professional reflection and assessment. Another goal of the project was to introduce Google Suite tools as Open Educational Resources (OER) for teachers.

As part of the EDCI 569 course, I designed another eLearning module using Adobe Captivate, focusing on student wellbeing. This course is designed to help students develop an action plan for prioritizing their mental health and making full use of the resources available on campus.

It incorporates scenario-based learning, interactive elements, multimedia resources, and practical activities to actively engage learners.

As part of the EDCI 572 course, I designed my first online learning module using Articulate 360, focusing on Workplace Diversity and Inclusion. This course aims to foster awareness and provide actionable strategies to promote inclusivity and respect in professional environments.

The course integrates interactive elements, multimedia resources, and practical activities to engage learners. It reflects my commitment to creating impactful and learner-centered instructional designs.

Throughout my extensive years of teaching ESL, I have designed numerous courses tailored to learners from diverse backgrounds and age groups. My approach to course development prioritizes needs analysis and learner characteristics, ensuring that each course fosters an engaging and impactful learning environment.

One of my recent projects involved designing a college-level English course. For this course, I curated materials to make the learning experience both effective and engaging while designing assessments that were closely aligned with the teaching objectives and the skills being evaluated. As a seasoned ESL teacher, I view assessment as an integral part of learning. I emphasize formative assessment as a tool to reinforce learning and provide continuous feedback.

In addition to this course, I have planned and delivered several others, including an English Intensive Program, a Teacher Training Program for Colombian School English Teachers, and a Corporate English Language Course.
