About Me

I’m a former certified secondary education teacher who switched careers in 2007 when I delved into designing elearning courses.

I have extensive experience designing online courses, because I’EEve been creating them since 2007. It’s quite normal for me to be working with engineers, programmers & web app architects in order to translate their esoteric explanations into layman’s terms. I’ve also trained other instructors to go through the whole process of creating online courses, from creating storyboards, recording, editing, and checking for quality before putting it up live.

I design self-paced, semi-moderated, and highly moderated LIVE online courses (real-time participation learning). I’ve created courses for different devices, from laptops & desktops to mobile platforms (smartphones, tablets), so that optimal learning can take place even with limited real-estate screen space.
