User-focussed resources for learners and facilitators
In order to refine my Instructional Design skills, I went back to university to gain a solid pedagogical basis. After graduating with a Postgraduate diploma in Teaching (secondary), I undertook teaching practice for five years at secondary level.
This allowed me to build a solid theoretical and practical understanding of how verbal, textual, and visual information can be presented to clearly communicate concepts, ideas, and complex information, helping viewers to construct understanding and encouraging retention. I have found these skills especially useful when simultaneously addressing the variable needs of learners at different literacy and numeracy levels.
I have been able to amply use these skills in my Instructional Design and Technical Publishing practice. Audiences have included secondary school students and teachers, trades apprentices, trainers, assessors, corporate staff, HR departments, and corporate and professional association board members.
