Instructional Design Document:
Florida Driver's Education Simulator

I worked with a team of five other instructional design graduate students to design a driver's education simulation. 

We began this project with front-end analysis. We first explored whether there was a need for a driver's education simulation. Because Florida does not currently require learners to complete any formal road practice prior to obtaining a learner's permit, we determined that learners need a risk-free environment to practice and master basic road skills. 

Please view the document on your right to explore our in-depth analysis of the learners, environment, goals and objectives, fidelity requirements, assessment strategies, game elements, and more. This document also features our simulation flowcharts and storyboards.

Instructional Design Document: 3rd Grade Math: Word Problems

I worked with a team of three other instructional design graduate students to design an instructional unit for a class of 3rd-grade students struggling with solving word problems in math. In this project, I served both as an instructional designer and Subject Matter Expert (SME).

Instructional Design Proposal.pdf

For this project, I applied Dick and Carey's model of instructional design to write a design proposal for an interactive, fluency-based module to teach second-graders math concepts related to Operations and Algebraic Thinking—a pillar of second-grade math standards. 

The proposed module would cover concepts such as representing and solving addition and subtraction problems, fluently adding and subtracting numbers within 20, and using groups of objects and skip counting to develop pre-skills for multiplication. By the end of second grade, students should add and subtract three-digit numbers, understand the basics of multiplication and division, and apply the base-ten model of numbers (i.e., place value). However, if students do not adequately develop the necessary addition and subtraction skills, they will struggle to meet these standards.
