The education team at GIFT was seeking to build a new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) focused on taxation and accounting, and sought guidance on how to achieve this. I provided advice on the 1) team and resources to pull together; 2) approach to project management; 3) expected level of effort and time for module and course design; and 4) developed the learning design and media plans for each module. I reviewed all learning content, drafted assessments, drafted discussion questions, drafted visuals, and constructed the full course architecture. ### Final product advertisement and link <iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-21QEn-z0cA?si=de5tFxIfTvrQqQ0w" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> See the [Advancing Fiscal Transparency for Development Online Course](https://aftx.learning.fiscaltransparency.net). ## Manager, Finance Learning and Development – Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) This role was a manager position overseeing the full lifecycle of finance curriculum and involved working closely with contract capture teams to support training needs for employees pursuing contract awards. My role included ensuring standardized workflows were followed, collecting training needs, designing content for various modalities, developing training for delivery, facilitating in-person training, generating surveys, and producing guides for facilitators and learners. As part of this, I collaborated with L&D teams of marketing and communications, training delivery, and assessment. Externally, I worked with vendors to communicating needs, problem solve technical issues, and ensure readiness. > [!attention] A note on examples > Kindly note that I am unable to share examples of trainings, learning content, and other work produced as this was proprietary and internal to BAH. ## Projects Officer, Instructional Designer – International Monetary Fund (IMF) This role was an inaugural contributor position as part of the IMF effort to propel economics capacity development among government officials of member nations. In a transition away from online training via Moodle, my role was to help the Institute for Capacity Development to rethink online learning, then design, develop, and deliver new Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). I transformed the approach to online learning by focusing on producing high-quality multimedia with in-house creatives, making instructors a key part of the training delivery, establishing a common course structure to support learning, and establishing an operationally effective project management system. ### Artifacts across projects | Operations | Design planning | Course and media design | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------- | | [[IMF Project management]] | [[2014-2018, MOOC architecture]] | [[2017-2018, FCBLx video design]] | | [[2017, IMF Project planning]] | [[2016, MOOC video design]] | [[2017, IMF MDSx]] | | [[2017, IMF Data management]] | [[2016, IMF Video concepting]] | [[2016, IMF PFMx]] | | | [[2016, IMF Accessibility planning]] | | ## Instructional Designer – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) This role was an inaugural contributor position as part of the MIT-Skoltech Initiative – the establishment of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, a new Russian university.
