PortfolioI have posted some of my work on this page. Unfortunately, most of the work I do is in a course management system, but this will give you some idea what I've been up to. I have posted some of my notable projects dating back to the late 1990s. My more recent, and more relevant work is listed first.
Dermatology YouTube Channel
I am currently managing a Masters Program for the Dermatology department at the University of Miami. As a part of the marketing for this Hybrid master's program, I recorded, edited, and produced a series of videos to highlight the work being conducting by the department. We have about 20 videos recorded to date. Many of these are or talented surgeons and NIH researchers. |

Articulate Storyline
While at the School of Business I worked on competency-based MBA programs at the University of Miami. The faculty and I developed a number of activities with Articulate Storyline. I discovered this program a couple of years ago and developed this video to demonstrate the basics, but you can do a lot more than I describe here. In addition to your typical narrated presentation this program offers interactivity and programming but without coding. It allows for variable based calls, SCORM, communication with an LMS, and easy WSIWYG/GUI development. We published materials that interacted with Blackboard and published scenarios as flash and HTML5. We used it to create several interesting course activities and case studies for our learners. (August 2014-June 2015) |

I've begun developing materials for the University of West Florida. This piece is for the Hire ED IT grant, a department of labor grant. It describes our IT Academy and some of the certifications students are getting through this program. We decided to use student testimonials because new students can easily identify with folks because they are like themselves. |

In my time here at NSF I have been fortunate to have edited and helped produced several projects that have involved the development of video for our streaming video server and YouTube. We have produced hour-long lecture capture videos like the one to the left and short little snippets for our online course or our Public Service Announcements. Here for instance is a green screen product we produced with Dr. José Munoz and Dr. Joanne Tornow and posted on the NSF Youtube channel. Here are some other examples: |

During the summer of 2012, I and my fellow NSU faculty were experimenting with a new video capture system, the Newtek Tricaster. After some discussion, I led an effort the group to develop a series of course videos for one of our foundation courses. So as a group we wrote scripts, directed, and developed a series of short videos. I served as the video editor for this team and learned a thing or two about Apple Motion, HTML5, and green screen video. This was all in my effort to help support title V's champions program. Of course, we had some fun with the green screen too (Cruise video). Here are several examples of our combined efforts (Sept 2012):
|
|||
The Logic of Qualitative Design This is an example lecture capture video that I produced with the Tricaster and a green screen. Dr. Desir provided a medium-length (38 minute) "lecturette" on Qualitative design. I edited the piece and used Camtasia to produce the menu. |
|||
I worked with Dr. Maryann Tobin and a number of faculty to develop a set of video modules for a Master's level teacher education course. I'm rather proud of it as we used a green screen video and the Tricaster. I'm also employing HTML5 to make this possible. (orientation) |

EDD 8001 Instructional Design - As a Professor, I was honored to teach Nova's graduate-level Instructional Design course - EDD8001. I had worked with Drs. Lou and Jim Carey, as a doctoral student so I was a bit partial to the Dick and Carey Model. This page shows some of the materials I produced as apart of that course (online lectures, podcast, Syllabus, etc). I taught this course each semester for 2 years. I was the faculty of record for this course but had several adjuncts, I worked with them and translated the materials into Spanish, this page has the Spanish version. |
|||
EDD 8124 Theories of Learning - This was perhaps my favorite course, that I taught at Nova because it included a wide variety of theoretical issues. This page shows some of the materials I produced (online lectures, readings, podcasts, Syllabus, etc). I taught this course over a couple of years. I was the faculty of record for this course but had several adjuncts that help me meet the demand for this popular course. I even worked with them and translated these materials into Spanish, this page shows the Spanish version. |

Animated demonstrations
My dissertation work revolved around something called animated demonstrations, as opposed to narrated presentations (next section). Animated demonstrations are usually short, narrated, web-based presentations that show learners how to do something (procedural learning), usually how to use a computer program. This example is from my dissertation, but I have taught online courses using these presentations too. My research shows they elicit something called the worked-example effect. This form of instruction can be generalized to any computer program. Some may believe this a passive form of instruction, to that I say "open another web page, interact and follow along." Here are a couple of examples (year produced): |

Narrated presentations (Learning Theories Series) |
|||
This is a short music video that I produced with Final Cut Pro. |
|||
At NSF, we developed a number of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) for our internal communications within the foundation. I like working on these short videos because you can produce them in an afternoon (conception to product). PSA in a day is my mantra. I used Camtasia to develop captions, to be 508 compliant. Here are a couple more examples that have played in our intranet and on the announce channel: |
|||
One afternoon my team and I decided to test the green screen in Adobe Premiere. I decided to use that to add a little narration to explain how you could use a green screen. In this short video, I begin to describe green screen video techniques. (requires Adobe Flash) (July 2010) |
|||
Password problems (silent movie)
My team was asked to produce a "short," or 15 second commercial for our internal signage. However, they were having audio difficulties with the Announce channel. It wouldn't allow you to sync a person's audio to there video! So when the world gives you lemons, I always say: "give 'em lemonade!" So we made a silent movie by adding dust and other special effects with Final Cut Pro. |
