• Dawn Wilson- Kendall

    I am an extremely passionate Instructional Designer, Developer, and Educator who is transitioning from the classroom to behind the scenes, because of my love to create and design visually appealing, state of the art, exciting, engaging, educational content. Exploring teaching styles while educating both adults and young people and creating digital and e-learning solution systems and curriculums for teams to create clear parameters for training has always been a deep interest of mine. Combining my own lifelong learning interests, adult education principles, and other educational designs into my training, along with my diverse use of technology has made my content engaging in all different types of media. Thousands of my students are benefitting from my designed courses and I would love to work with your institution, school, college or university, or corporation.

  • Hello & Welcome!

    I love designing courses on varied topics and adding appeal to create a desire to learn within all learners. Student learning is an essential element of education, and I make sure to deliver the content that is primed for retention and attention. My experience involves teaching primarily online for 15 years and additionally, from time to time, in the classroom. You can find my courses on some of the best learning management platforms and being utilized at the most esteemed universities.

     

    The learning ecosystem should be enjoyed simultaneously, including all the learning materials and activities. My designed content is engaging so learning, growth, and participation in academics will be seen in all learners; it also boosts the success in fostering critical thinking and success-building skills. Innovative curriculum and platform bring the traditional and modern education methodologies into the same course.

     

    Also, I am able to create dynamic courses for corporations and institutions and assist in training.

    I easily provide learners with the knowledge and skills they need to increase job performance and enhance their career paths. Companies that invest in corporate training increase employee performance, productivity, motivation, and retention. Whether you are implementing a new corporate training program or are improving your existing training, making sure you have an essential professional who is able to assess the the needs of your workforce and business is critical. I can assist with designing curricula and feedback systems to ensure continuing education and compliance within companies in a memorable way.

     

    When I am not teaching or working on course designing, you may see me working on Internet, scrolling, and learning about modern trends in digital marketing and design. Or maybe you will find me making things more visually appealing in any technology space. User experience, interface, and design play an essential role in the era of the digital world, and so it is in mine. Extensive continuing education on most LMSs(Learning Management Systems) and other web based tools keeps me updated with new ways to educate learners.
