Feedback
This is excellent, I got lost in your site, in a good way. The multimedia use is perfect, I like the tone of the site, it has tons of information. I think this site proves why ID is required. It also proves that [instructional design] is the job for you as your skills are obvious. – Dr. Shannon Hilliker, professor of instructional design at UAlbany
WOW! Your site is AMAZING. I love the organization of the site. – S. O., site user
Beautifully put together and easy to navigate. I really enjoyed that you had a bunch of different interviews and perspectives. It kept my interest high and I looked forward to watching them all. – R. D., site user
A FANTASTIC job incorporating images, videos, and just a really great diverse set of information sources. Everything was super clear and laid out wonderfully. – T. W., site user
I love how it’s professional but incorporates the style of social media ‘stories,’ so it piques interest. Also, the YouTube video interviews were done so well! And they were the perfect time length. It really made me personally invested in learning more. – L. M., site user
A great example of how effective information can be presented. This page really exemplified the concept that we were going for. – J. G., site user
I create engaging exploratory learning experiences that learners get absorbed in.
