Instructional Design Projects
Instructional design projects focused on building strategy-driven learning experiences that promote systems thinking, decision-making, and meaningful performance outcomes.
Strategix – Systems-Based Instructional Game
Strategix is a systems-based instructional game designed to move students from answer-based math performance to strategic problem solving, decision-making, and systems thinking.
Developed as part of a graduate instructional design sequence, the project integrates whole-task learning, systems thinking, and iterative feedback into a competitive game environment where learners optimize dynamic systems under constraint.
Graphics/Layout Project – “Video vs. Audio in Math Instruction”
This one-page infographic was designed for secondary math teachers to clarify when it is most effective to use video versus audio for instruction. It applies multimedia principles such as signaling, coherence, and redundancy to present practical guidance in a clean, classroom-ready format.
Audio Project – “Waiver Wire Wisdom” Mini-Podcast
This short fantasy-football mini-podcast introduces new players to the difference between FAAB and traditional waiver systems. The episode focuses on clear narration, consistent levels, and purposeful use of intro/outro music to model effective educational audio design.
Multimedia Project – Integrating Video & Audio in Math Instruction
This web-based mini-module is designed for secondary math teachers and models practical ways to blend short video and audio into math instruction. It combines a worked-example video, a brief teacher tip podcast, interactive checks for understanding, and supporting visuals while emphasizing accessibility through captions, transcripts, and clear navigation.
