My Projects

Technical courses for Amazon

In my current role as a Learning Experience Coordinator, I support the production and design of high-quality technical courses for Amazon. We use Author as the authoring tool to design the courses, and then we use Learning Cloud as the LMS to upload the courses created. My responsibilities are tracking the production cycle and coordinating with instructional designers, graphic designers, and content owners to launch quality products.

Learning Certificate for 1st year employees

In my last role as a Learning and Development Specialist, one of my priorities was to support the learning needs of international educators. I designed a 1st-year Certificate to provide the skills needed to thrive in their first year after analyzing data to identify the areas of struggle. The micro-learning courses were hosted in an LMS.

These are a few examples (1, 2) of the in-person and then online sessions that I designed and facilitated. The online sessions are hosted in a course in Schoology.

Animation with characters

I used the Voomly Cloud option to access Toonly, an easy software for creating animation videos with different characters.

In the beginning, I tried to incorporate the dialog on the screen, but the text options were minimal. I finally used Talkia to generate text-to-speech for the different characters. Both software were easy to use, however I found Toonly very limited regarding backgrounds and character options.

Bilingual course with Articulate Rise 360

I created this Early Childhood Education course to introduce Literacy in babies and preschoolers for Spanish-speaking families.

• Learning Gap: During the pandemic, preschool classes had to close for several months, so there was a need to continue learning at home. For little kids who are not reading yet, the use of computers was not appropriate, so I had to be creative in thinking about activities to introduce Literacy into the daily routines of a family to avoid the excessive use of screens.
• Target Audience: Adult caregivers of babies and children from 0 to 6 years old who are enrolled in any preschool or daycare center.
• Course Type and Modality: The course can be completed in less than 60 minutes. It is intended to be online and asynchronous.
• Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) and Module Learning Objectives (MLOs): I used Bloom’s Taxonomy to define and create objectives:
  • After the completion of the course, the learners will be able to:
    • Explain at what age is more appropriate to introduce letters (CLO1)
      • Identify the Literacy milestones at 3, 4, and 5 years (MLO1)
    • Use specific activities to introduce Literacy in babies and children (CLO2)
      • Identify what activities are more appropriate to introduce Literacy with kids at home (MLO1)
      • Create a routine to introduce Literacy in babies (MLO2)
    • Describe the skills required before learning to read and write (CLO3)
      • Recognize different activities to promote fine motor skills as a pre-requisite to writing (MLO1)

• Instructional Design Model Approach: I used the Rapid Instructional Design Approach to reduce the time of the process but still create an effective learning experience. I used Articulate 360 to design three lessons and a quiz. I rolled out the first three lessons but the whole course is intended to include up to 8-10 lessons. First, I analyze the learning needs and objectives. Then, I design and plan the content, creating my first prototype using the Authoring tool, Articulate 360. Once the course is deployed to the target audience, feedback will be collected to align and create the rest of the lessons.
• Learning Activities: Articulate 360 allows the incorporation of a variety of interactive activities to engage the learner. Based on the content, I incorporated interactive flashcards, role-playing scenarios, knowledge checks during the lesson, and a final Questionnaire to evaluate the learning at the end of the course.
• Learning Theory: Andragogy and Cognitivism were the main theories applied in this course. Adult learners will benefit from a real-world approach with an active role in their learning due to its interactivity.

Blogger and Social Media

I am the owner of the website Pegotetes, a personal project about Education and Parenting that I started in 2020 about content relevant to families of little children and teachers.

I have experience writing articles, collaborating with different companies, creating posts in Social Media (Facebook and Instagram), and writing newsletters to my subscribers regularly.

Pegotetes gave me the opportunity to have experience in marketing and networking. My website is increasing the visits every month and is intended to keep growing in the next few years.
