In 2018, Pearson English launched an app with content for its many courses. A team of engineers, designers, and content-specialists developed it.
I led the instructional design. It was informed by studies on how and why students use language learning apps (during short breaks to keep material fresh). App features — such as low stakes activities and fast feedback — evolved naturally from there.
I then worked with the production team to see those features come to life in the app. Challenges included coordinating with a global team and finding ways to work under given technology constraints.
After the app was built, I then drafted the writing briefs and authoring templates and began training in-house teams as well as freelance writers and editors.
The mobile learning landscape is evolving rapidly and we’re all still figuring it out together. I’d love to help. I’m good at making complex things seem simple and designing processes.
I’m #OPENTOWORK and eager to take on well-paid contract work or to be considered for an internal role.
