  1. Instructional Design: IMI & UA • Leanne Boyd: A Theory on New Technologies and Learning • Resume • Knowledge of Instructional Design • Architecture of Instructional Design • List: Authoring & ID Tools

  2. My Theory on New Technologies and Learning • This presentation concerns a position that pertains to Instructional Design, Website development and design, and interactive content development. This position is all about distance - even web-delivered - education, Web technologies and interactive methodologies. • This position is Instructional Design for the United Airlines new media learning modules.

  3. I have a very strong background in authoring and Web competencies. I have been designing and integrating these two environments for use on the Web since early 1994. My career history includes Media Director for North High School, Denver Public Schools District, in which I built and implemented training environments for both teachers and students. I have held several positions that required strong project management skills, including the North High position, as well as my most recent position as Project Lead and Web Developer at Lucent Technologies.

  4. My academic path has included much experience in interactive authoring in Web-based and CBT environments, and I am well versed in the online learning and distance education arenas. • Recently, my position was Web developer and Project Lead in the Product Publications Department at Lucent Technologies. It was challenging and in keeping with my career goals. I achieved realization of my highest goals during the design and development of this interactive, task-based Web site:

  5. I completed all initial stages of research, authoring, testing and evaluation within a pre-determined time frame, in which I successfully led a small team of non-web-technologies-trained, telecommunications engineers into a deeper understanding of the development process for a learning tool that is Web-based, rather than paper-based. • I "grew" this learning environment from an internal document, "Application Notes for Type Approval," a much-needed tool by telecommunications technicians, worldwide. Its previous format had traditionally been difficult to use.

  6. My Intranet application will facilitate much greater use of the tool than when it was a 450-page PDF or FrameMaker file. • The architecture that I implemented will be used as a prototype for other internal documentation. • I had great success in combining the software strengths of BlueSky RoboHELP HTML, version 6.0, in some of the "first-use" of this Help-file authoring tool at Lucent. I also utilized Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe Photoshop 5.0, several text editors, and extensive FTP (file transfer) functions.

  7. Much of the project was very successfully telecommuted, working from my own home studio. • The project was completed in October, 1998, and included the template and hierarchical structure stages for the Web site.

  8. My career history has sharpened my skills for implementing higher levels of software and Internet-application development. I have a strong computer science foundation, especially in the areas of developing applications in a multi-platform arena, utilizing a broad variety of authoring tools, HTML programming, coding in JavaScript, Web-specific software, and multimedia development including audio, video, and animation. Although most of my experience is with Windows (through '98), and Macintosh (through current iMac desktop stations), I also am familiar with the UNIX environment.

  9. I am able to work with a variety of programming codes, such as JavaScript, Visual Studio 6 (primarily Visual Basic), Java, and Perl. After many years of authoring with Macromedia products, I have generated products in the Macromedia suite -- the Attain integrated system of authoring. At this stage in my professional and academic paths, I have begun to apply more programming skills within the work environment. I have a proven excellent capacity for accelerated learning of languages and software and their applications in current technologies.

  10. My knowledge of online, distance learning is intense and up-to-date, because of both my work history of the past few years, and also my Master's program. • Direct experience has given me invaluable experience with what works in distance learning, as well as what does not work. • Presently, I have completed 85% of my Master's of Science program in Computer Science, Computing Technology in Education. My GPA is 4.0. • The program is geared toward a well-founded base in Distance Learning from hardware and software standpoints, as well as my emphasis in Instructional Design, primarily Web-based.

  11. My course work has solidly covered Internet/ Intranet-based training, instructional design, delivery systems, cognition, human/computer interface, CBT design, and broad-based multimedia design, platforms and technologies. I will graduate in summer, 1999. • Prior to my current studies, I was a high honors graduate from Metropolitan State College of Denver, in 1997. My B.A. in Technical Communications was geared toward Web and instructional design and development, with emphasis on related new media, instructional authoring, and multimedia.

  12. I have successfully planned, designed and developed more than a dozen medium- to large-sized Web sites, and have accomplished the same with several hyperactive educational software (Toolbook, Authorware, Director, several Microsoft development software). • My career history includes the successful creation and implementation of a Multimedia work center in Denver's North High School, as well as management of teams for organization of multimedia and authoring projects for the Web.

  13. I am confident with my skill set and techniques for taking projects to successful completion. These projects are excellent examples of my organizational abilities and task leadership.

  14. I see my role as a Web and instructional designer to be vital to students and to co-workers, as the learning environment is modified to accommodate the new learner - the 21st century learner. • My role, in providing technical, creative, and intuitive advances in developing learning environments, will be to provide a basis for viewing rapid change as the logical establishment of a "Calm Technology," which will dispel the fear so many have of rapid technological changes. • My work will help the student to realize that we all are capable of being "life-long learners."

  15. One role of the Web designer or content developer will be to lead and encourage the educational team in taking current and future content into a strongly-founded digital world, where the learner's tools become as comfortable as they are useful. • Successful design integrates the inquisitive nature of the human mind with the limitless power of the digital knowledge network. • The Web and/or content specialist, then, supports all learners in adopting the computer as a personal, invaluable tool.

  16. I bring not just the mastery of technology and techniques. • I also bring a love of, and dedication to, both the creative and scientific aspects of our "New Media". • This is, perhaps, the greatest strength I offer: a total commitment to present technologies and media, and a history of perseverance, determination, artistry and innovation. • These character traits not only describe the nature of an architect of learning environments, but also the spirit of every life-long learner.
