"Teresa did a fantastic job of diving into a highly ambiguous project on an insanely short timeline with grace and precision. She coordinated across multiple high-visibility teams and led her team without formal authority with unmatched finesse. She produced a well-polished deliverable for us on time without a lot of guidance from me. The deliverable included video assets as well as sizeable project planning proposal elements and learning material samples. Really nice work all around. We highly recommend Teresa for your next project. Seriously."

To expand the course catalogue with 25 new course offerings for teachers and administrators on AI and how to use it ethically and responsibly.
The Project:
We were contracted to help bring the vision to life. We served as the Lead Instructional Designer for this project. We researched and mapped curriculum into courses and course tracks. We refined scripts and produced detailed storyboards for third-party video developers, and created videos as needed to keep the project on track. We created project brand style guides and templates, as well as fillable PDFs and resource materials.
The Production Materials:
This project incorporated a number of conventional and AI tools. Drafts and planning materials were produced in Microsoft Word as well as Google Docs. PDFs, branding materials, and video assets were created and refined in Canva. Videos were created in Colossyan with the help of third-party developers. The final course was compiled into Articulate Storyline for a professional SCORM package.

AI in Finance E-Learning Courses
The Client:
Strativ is a data-driven marketing, consulting, and content platform that provides business resources, strategic planning tools, and operational guides focused on Saas, finance, manufacturing, and startup fundraising.
The Challenge:
To match the branding and style of existing courses to fill out the rest of the course catalogue.
The Project:
This project was to convert detailed storyboards into interactive e-Learning courses. Some assets were provided; others had to be updated, created, or branded to company guidelines.
The Production Materials:
Visual assets were created in Canva. Custom intro/outro assets were created in Canva and Camtasia for course videos. Videos were edited and branded in Camtasia. Final courses were compiled in Articulate Rise with a few custom interactions created in Articulate Storyline. SCORM packages constituted the final deliverable.
Democracy Lab: Civic Innovation and Engagement
The Client:
The Ark Institute is a new homeschooling platform that seeks to address the challenge of educating students in the modern AI era. Using a project-based learning approach, the institute seeks to meld science and technology training with the development of human-essential skills. Each course incorporates a number of domains, including: Environmental Stewardship & Sustainable Resource Management; Social Sciences, Ethics & Community Building; Health, Medicine & Well-being; Science, Technology & Innovation; and Arts, Culture & Creative Expression.
The Challenge:
The institute was in the process of expanding its curriculum offerings and challenged us to write and develop its Democracy Lab course for 9-12 grade students. The course outline had been developed, but lessons and materials had to be created.
The Project:
We were given a large amount of creative license when developing this course, which was a lot of fun. The course had to be engaging for high school students as well as comprehensive as far as scope. We designed and developed three 4-week modules, each week consisting of approximately five hours of content.
The Production Materials:
This project was created using a combination of AI prompt engineering and free-to-use materials curated on the internet. Additional materials were created in Canva. The introduction video was created in Techsmith Camtasia using AI avatars from Audiate, animations from Doodley, and other assets from Canva. All materials (including banners) were formatted for distribution on Canvas LMS.
Grant Management Bootcamp
The Client:
MyFEDTrainer.com provides expert training and resources for managing Federal Grants. The company recently rebranded and is in the process of updating all of its training resources; both in-person and remote learning.
The Challenge:
The previous iteration of these materials was recorded from a live presentation. Some version was also presented via webinar, but the company had not yet done a dedicated conversion to asynchronous eLearning.
The Project:
This project was to convert training materials from previous recordings into asynchronous eLearning materials. Materials needed to be updated to align with new branding guidelines as well as new guidance from the Federal Government. Additionally, course length and materials needed to comply with certification and accreditation guidelines.
The Production Materials:
Visual assets were created in Canva, Doodly, and via screencast. Video elements were compiled and edited in Camtasia with an AI voiceover provided by Techsmith Audiate. Videos were then compiled and uploaded into Learnworlds LMS by an additional contractor.
Intro to Valves - Proof of Concept
The Client:
The American Supply Association (ASA) is the industry’s national trade association representing distributors and their manufacturers and manufacturer representative agencies serving the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling-Piping (PHCP) and Industrial Pipe-Valve-Fitting (PVF) channel.
The Challenge:
ASA wanted to update its current training series from several multi-hour courses in Articulate Storyline to smaller micro-learning modules in Articulate Rise. Feedback from consumers reported that the previous version was too cumbersome to digest in a working environment, so the company took the advantage to revamp as well as update the training.
The Project:
We were given complete access to the original module information, additional transcripts, and training resources. We then reorganized the existing content to fit into two mini-lessons within the module. ASA provided a sample module as a template for the new look but encouraged additional updates as far as the design. We then took the project through development and delivered a SCORM file with the complete module to the client. The completed project included text, interactive images, sorting, drag-and-drop, quiz elements, and single-chain scenarios.
The Production Materials:
This project was created using the Articulate 360 Design Suite. Interactive drag-and-drop interactions were created in Articulate Storyline while the rest of the module used Articulate Rise. Assets were either provided by the client or taken from the Articulate Asset Library. AI voiceover for accessibility was created in TechSmith Audiate and imported to Rise. PDF deliverables were created using the Microsoft Office Suite.
IATSE 891 Department Orientation Series
The Client:
IATSE Local 891 is a film worker’s union representing over 10,000 artists and technicians who work in the film and television production industry in British Columbia, Canada. They support most genres of production at all budget levels and have made some of the biggest feature films and some of the longest-running television series ever screened. Their award-winning members are internationally renowned for their skills and expertise.
The Challenge:
New members and permittees to the union aren’t necessarily familiar with how IATSE productions and the departments are run. They need training and onboarding materials to learn the procedures and avoid common mistakes that may make them appear to be unprofessional on set.
The Project:
For this project, we were contracted through MK Way join the project mid-process. The previously created materials were incomplete and needed revising to meet client needs and expectations. We worked with a larger team to consult with SMEs and create a universal course plan for the series as well as specific course and block template plans for upcoming courses.
The Production Materials:
The finished deliverables were created by another contractor in Articulate Rise 360 and Vyond.
The Healthy Deviant - SPEC Project
The Client:
The Healthy Deviant is the brand of premier health journalist, Pilar Gerasimo. Her research on healthy living has been compiled in a book, The Healthy Deviant, and expanded into several health and wellness programs including The Healthy Deviant Adventure Program. Her work can be found at www.healthydeviant.com.
The Challenge:
The book has a number of comprehensive instructions and ideas for healthy living, however, some people are averse to digesting that much information from a book. Some authors address this challenge by using audiobooks, but Ms. Gerasimo’s work has a number of elements that are visual and interactive. The challenge is to create an alternative informational format that is engaging and interactive and breaks the information into small, easily consumable pieces.
The Project:
For this project, we converted parts one and three of the book into a comprehensive eLearning Course comprised of four modules and eighteen lessons. Within the lessons are a number of interactive elements from videos, to embedded elements, to downloads. The text was broken up into smaller segments interspersed with images and interactive elements such as matching, sorting, interactive images, quiz elements, and more.
The Production Materials:
This project was created using the Articulate 360 Design Suite. Embedded videos were created in Camtasia and Audiate with assets from the book, The Healthy Deviant, TechSmith Assets, Unsplash, and Canva. PDF downloadables were created using the Microsoft Office Suite.
