What type of help do you need?

Do you need to start from the beginning? I can help you:

  • Write learning objectives
  • Interview subject matter experts
  • Write the content for the course
  • Research instructional content to determine what should go into your course
  • Write assessment questions
  • Select practice activities/interactions to align with the learning objectives
  • Utilize best practices rooted in learning theories and adult learning principles
  • Produce a completed and approved storyboard to send to an e-Learning Developer

Do you already have a storyboard and the content but just need help turning your idea into an e-Learning course. I can:

  • Build an initial prototype, and then alpha, beta, and final builds of the course
  • Program and configure any branching scenarios and interactions
  • Insert and synchronize the audio narration files
  • Edit photos, vectors, and videos as needed
  • Publish, upload, and quality test your courses
  • Utilize visual design principles, multimedia learning principles, and user experience design best practices

Are you just starting out and need to strategize how to get your content online? I can:

  • Look at your challenge from both a business and educational perspective
  • Help you establish requirements and understand which software and technology is right for your training project
  • Provide advice on trends, course elements, technology, and e-learning tools
  • Analyze your existing process and identify areas you can improve upon when it comes to creating and delivering your online courses

I use a variety of tools to create your e-Learning course. Here are some of my “go-to” apps!

  • Articulate Studio 360 (Storyline, Rise, Presenter, Engage, Quizmaker)
  • Video & Audio Editing (Camtasia, Panopto, Adobe Premiere)
  • Photo & Image Edits (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator)
  • Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel)

Instructional Designer + e-Learning Developer

Multiple individuals perform these roles in some large custom development organizations, which can become inefficient over time. I am skilled in both Instructional Design and e-learning Development! That means you will work with me personally to handle all of your ID and e-Learning needs!

How can we help?

Now that you understand the different services I can provide, why not contact me today, and let’s get your project started!

Manager, CS Support

“Richard has been a valued partner…”

PHP requested that Richard Watson, CEO of BLS do a thorough evaluation of the Customer Service Training Program at PHP.  Richard conducted multiple interviews of people throughout the organization and at all levels of the organization to inform his evaluation.  He reviewed tools and processes, trainer skill sets, and customer expectations.  In April of 2019, Richard presented his proposal along with multiple recommendations.  It was thorough and outstanding work, which offered us quick-hit solutions as well as some longer-term solutions for technology and skill development for trainers.  In addition, BLS developed a “Train the Trainer” website that offered 25 training modules covering everything from ADDIE to E-Learning development.  This has been an invaluable training opportunity for our CS trainers as well as other trainers in the PHP organization at large.  Richard also assisted PHP in the identification process for a Learning Management System and other e-Learning tools.
