The content and courses highlighted In these artifacts were created by Mr. Treadway through the Department of Online Learning In the Center for Innovative Teaching and Technology at Hillsborough Community College. The courses developed use a Quality Matters based rubric with enhanced requirements to ensure standards for quality. The learning activities and rich media projects were created primarily as course content with additional projects for faculty seeking course assistance. The role of the Curriculum Designer is to create learning activities, eLearning objects, class activities, assignments, ensuring content aligns with outcomes, objectives, and assessments. These examples primarily use RISE, Camtasia, Canvas, and other educational technology software.

This course was designed and developed to help establish a comprehensive understanding of the college admissions process in high school students and their parents. This course was designed specifically to help underserved students such as those in rural and urban areas, 1st generation students, and those with limited access to guidance. The hosting and distribution of the course is currently in progress.
The research study was conducted in Fall 2018 as the focal point of a graduate course in Inquiry and Measurement. The study polled college students in first year writing classes about their voting behaviors, media intake, and educational background. The research demonstrated a correlation between low voter turnout amongst youth and a lack of civic educational measures.
The study took place within a 4 month time frame according to UT IRB standards and procedures. Polling took place on-campus in classrooms and online.
Results from the study show that college age students often abstain from voting for a lack of knowledge on candidates and issues. It also shows that a majority of polled students were not adequately educated on civic procedures and their value. An educational gap was demonstrated and therefore the need for a solution.
Acted as the principle researcher, investigator, and writer for the research study and analysis in collaboration with fellow graduate students Anthony Gill and Johnathan Fox.
This instructional video was designed in collaboration with fellow graduate student Brittany Bing as part of a course on instructional design principles. Ms. Bing was the lead animator and co-voiceover while Mr. Treadway worked as lead writer and co-voiceover. The goal was to create an instructional piece based on a topic of choice relevant to a specific audience with a theoretical basis. The design team choose to target the instruction toward college students beginning the job hunt, with a lesson on the upcoming practice of social vetting, using connectivist influences to distribute the video on multiple online formats to be shared and built upon. With employers increasingly using social media to pre-screen their candidates, the lesson aimed to shed light on the practice to those potentially affected along with strategies on how alter social media practices and consider image.
During the summer of 2019 Mr. Treadway worked as an Instructional Design Intern for Dr. Alyssa Stewart D.P.T., Owner of Empower Physical Therapy and part-time faculty member at The University of Tampa. The central goal of the internship was to provide consultation and design services for Dr. Stewart to aid in the redesign of the Applied Kinesiology at the course at the university. The internship was completed as part of the The University of Tampa's graduate program in Instructional Design & Technology.
Dr. Stewart and Mr. Treadway met with students who had previously taken the course and current undergraduate interns at Empower P.T. to analyze their experiences and expectations before beginning the design. After a demonstrated desire for greater transferability of knowledge and hands on experience, they worked to increase the practicality and applicability of the course material by restructuring the class experience, material order, and assignments. Because the course studied the movement of the human body, the class used more movement for instruction and demonstrations by Dr. Stewart as well as integrated student movement when possible and useful. The material order was restructured to make a more logical and linear progression through the body while omitting irrelevant material in favor of content more directly related to the real world practice of kinesiology in settings such as physical therapy. Assignments and projects were altered to be more experiential, with trips to the Empower physical therapy facility, working with trainers, and projects centered around movement. At the conclusion of the Fall '19 semester, Mr. Treadway and Dr. Stewart will evaluate the course design and implement improved solutions and modifications.
This presentation was given during the Fall of 2019 for a graduate course on theories of learning and cognition. The goal was to develop a lesson on a topic of choice while using a learning theory that has influenced the design. The learning activity created by the designer is an integral part of the instruction that demonstrates a method on how to engage learners according to a specific theory.
The lesson and activity was to be 15 minutes in length. The presentation of the learning theory was to be 10 minutes in length. Various instructional design elements found throughout the lesson demonstrate the ability to apply specific theories and methodologies to any given piece of instruction in order to achieve effective and efficient instruction.
Semiotics was chosen as the topic by the designer specifically for the purpose of demonstrating the natural human method of knowledge construction through language acquisition as a representative sign of the world. This was done to better illustrate the points and foundations of the constructivist theory.
In Fall 2018 Mr. Treadway worked with Ms. Brittany Bing & Mr. Anthony Gill in a graduate instructional design team to develop a set of training modules for the educational non-profit iCivics on a project called DBQuest. Under the leadership and direction of Dr. Emma Humphries, DBQuest was funded and supported by means of a grant from the Library of Congress and the modules were made to aid in the education of teachers using DBQuest. Mr. Treadway served as as Lead Editor, co-designer, and quality control.
The program was designed to help train high school teachers on how to instruct in the classroom using primary sources in order to teach students how to use primary sources in inquiry and research while introducing them to civic questions and acting as a learning guide. The team designed a course progression and created a series of self-paced modules, with content provided by iCivics, for teachers to access independently with a certification assessment at the end of the course. These modules were created in, and accessed through, the learning management system Canvas. Today through iCivics, the DBQuest modules are in use by educators nationwide.
