Overview
This section demonstrates how I apply James Paul Gee's research to design systems. Gee is a leading scholar in learning theory and game-based learning. Gee’s concepts of semiotic domains, just-in-time learning, on-demand learning, in the flow of work learning, motivation design, and flow calibration guide how I build out micro-symbol systems that support optimal learning.
Branded Programming
Internal program branding helps communication campaigns cut through the noise. The same advertising techniques that work externally work internally. Polished content increases buy-in and engagement.
Multimodal
Illustrating key learning outcomes is a direct way to enforce the main ideas in learning content, decrease cognitive load, increase access for varied learners, increase comprehension and retention. Because these are key concepts, the illustrations will appear throughout the content, orienting learners.
