Sample Instructional Design Projects
Harassment in the Workplace
Harassment in the Workplace
Harassment in the Workplace
Reviewing a third-party deliverable, the overall design and content were subpar for this particular organization. Digging into the SCORM package, we rebuilt the entire Course using sound visual design and appropriate adult learning theories along with the elements of the original that were satisfactory.
Phishing Project
Harassment in the Workplace
Harassment in the Workplace
Taking an entirely different approach to corporate training, the Phishing prototype/proof of concept was built to demonstrate to a new business unit leader what could be produced internally versus spending money on a generic, over-the-counter product.
The Adult Learner
Harassment in the Workplace
Introduction to Macbeth
Part of a larger training Program to introduce new instructors to their role, this discussion/course goes into detail about how to effectively address and train the adult learner, the differences between them and traditional learners, and several principles to utilize.

Introduction to Macbeth
As a capstone project, my wife and I were asked to collaborate on a project. We decided to create a hybrid learning environment for her English class and the Macbeth Learning Unit.
Capstone Defense
Introduction to Macbeth
Capstone Defense
To defend/present the Capstone, Kristen and I collaborated on another presentation built in Rise with elements from our Project and personal input.
Instructional Design Models (Links in images)
ADDIE
ADDIE
The tried and true. While I fall back on ADDIE when working on larger projects, for most of my projects, it is far too linear and complex.
- Most Important Phase: Analysis
- Favorite Phase: Design and Development
SAM
ADDIE
The Successive Approximation Model - or SAM - is an iterative model I rely on heavily. Coupled with Rapid Prototyping, it allows me to work on several projects at once, maintaining a high level of efficiency
Gradual Release
Rapid Prototyping
Suitable for academia and traditional instructor-led training (ILT) events, the Gradual Release Model, like all other models, has a place and time for use. While not utilized regularly in my corporate deliverables, it is still viable in the ILT events I develop.
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping
With its roots set in software development, Rapid Prototyping has quickly asserted itself as a strong, efficient, and effective model in Instructional Design. This process allows me to create iterations of a project, involving the Project Owners at every step, and minimize risks associated with missed content.
Gagne's 9 Levels
Gagne's 9 Levels
While I consider this to be more of an ID principle than model, relying on the Nine Levels helps me in the design phase of whatever project I am working on. While all Nine are rarely used, the process from Level 1 to Level 9 keeps my work focused and logical.
Dick and Carey
Gagne's 9 Levels
The Dick and Carey Model is yet another functional tool used in my project development. Combining several aspects of each of these Models, dependent upon the project size and type, allow me to provide the most efficient and effective means to address my Project Owner's needs.
