Below are samples of my work from various roles and projects, professional development, or school assignments. Be sure to view the pages for Presentations and Faculty Development projects!
All of my work on course design and development has been within the university setting. Due to copyright, I'm unable to show most of the work I've done. However, my colleagues and I created a training course in 2021 that focused on inclusive teaching. I am grateful for this opportunity to share it. It is currently only available to the ASU community, but I'm happy to provide a brief course tour. The course audience included graduate students and faculty who were part of a fellowship program. The program was grant-funded with the goal to make improvements to biology courses to be more inclusive.
The objective of the course was to provide a foundation of evidence-based inclusive teaching practices. My colleagues and I were in the roles of instructional designers, subject matter "experts", and instructors for the course. This was a challenge, but one that was worth taking on! We are all actively practicing inclusion every day, growing in knowing, and are grateful for the opportunity to curate the research that surrounds inclusive pedagogy.

I instructed teaching assistants (TAs) online about motivating students, online lab experiences, providing effective feedback, and general use of online technologies (Zoom, RPNow). This course was required for any TA who would be teaching online biology courses for the School of Life Sciences.
Since I cannot showcase many of the courses I've built, I have decided to design and develop short courses in Canvas and Articulate Rise to continue to flex my skills!

Canvas is the learning platform I used every day in my role as an Instructional Designer. I also have experience designing and developing on the Coursera and edX platforms. In past roles, I've used D2L, Blackboard, and custom course management systems.
As an adjunct faculty, I am currently using Brightspace.
This syllabus was developed from a version that exists from Rio Salado College. It was derived for an assignment in EDU 250: Teaching & Learning in the Community College. Not all words are my own but I created parts such as the course methodology, schedule, grade procedure and range, and I reorganized the layout.
