Teaching:
Credentialed as a Visual and Design Arts instructor, as an Adjunct I teach Introduction to Multimedia Design, Motion Design I Software and History of Radio and Broadcast Television. After creating multimedia for advertisements over several decades, I gained a firm grasp on several design tools and techniques that translate to instructional design. I support the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and multimedia principles. I believe by applying these principles with multimedia development enhances the learning experience. For example, professionally designed diagrams or animations can articulate meaning without words. Creating an intuitive enhanced multimedia learning experience expedites learner retention.

Working in advertising I used methods like analyze, design, develop, implement, evaluate, or (ADDIE); frequently to identify solutions for several multimedia projects. Currently I develop hybrid course shells and lessons based on principles modeled from ADDIE and Design Thinking. Implementing these models is a core component to how I develop learner centric hybrid online modules. This is achieved with the implementation of multimedia video and interactive applications. I plan to integrate my passion for audiovisuals into contemporary online lessons. Building from previous experience instructing undergraduate hybrid online courses. I utilize learning management systems (LMS) like Canvas, Desire 2 Learn (D2L), and Blackboard to deliver rich classroom content and management.

Incorporating learning models that appeal and call upon the student’s personal experiences like Successive Approximation Model (SAM). I create unique lesson plans based on learning theory, like activity or problem-based theory. These lessons relate with students through a personal and approachable digital presence.

The learning experiences provide lasting tools that are relatable and applicable to real world scenarios. The online course LMS platform allows ease of evaluation and analysis of course effectiveness and objectives.


Philosophy:
With a holistic approach to teaching, I seek to address the emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs of students. This student-centered structure is the foundation of my andragogy methods. I believe that understanding the fundamentals of art and design enables students to explore developing a vocabulary for discourse. I encompass a multidisciplinary approach that promotes professional development.

I teach aesthetic principals and the elements of design like color theory, composition with a focus on audiovisual interpretation. The main objective is to inspire exploration by providing the required tools and technical knowledge. Through practice the students develop building blocks for successful process. This process can be applied to the creative approach and better understanding of visual culture. With repetition the student can learn industry standard techniques and practices. Class can include active workshops; slide presentations, assignment critique, assigned readings and research projects.

Throughout the course I evaluate students based on participation and internal progress. I will implement usual evaluative procedures like quizzes and class discussions and critiques of completed work. This helps allocate focus on areas that may need improvement. I want the student to be successful and feel valued, safe in the classroom and confident in the workplace. I strive to provide a learning environment that fosters effective personal growth.
