Tutorials

Clear, well-designed tutorials empower learners to solve problems independently while reducing the need for one-on-one support. I create both written and video tutorials that provide practical, step-by-step guidance for faculty, staff, and students. These resources serve as reusable reference materials that support learning long after a workshop or consultation has ended.

How I Made This Video

This 30-minute tutorial walks faculty through the complete process of creating a short introductory course video. Topics include writing a script, preparing a recording environment, capturing video with Snagit, editing the recording, publishing the video, and adding closed captions. Although the tutorial demonstrates a YouTube workflow used at the time, the principles remain applicable today.

This tutorial was developed after I presented an in-person workshop on creating instructional videos. Several faculty members were unable to attend but expressed interest in the material, so I created this self-paced resource to extend the reach of the workshop and provide a reusable reference that faculty could revisit whenever needed.

Adding Students to Non-Credit Canvas Courses

This written tutorial was developed to help faculty and staff manage enrollment in non-credit Canvas courses used by campus clubs, organizations, and other non-academic groups. The guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions for adding and removing participants, allowing course leaders to manage their own enrollments without requiring assistance from eLearning Services.

This resource demonstrates my approach to creating concise, practical documentation that supports self-directed learning while reducing the need for individual support requests.

Stop Reinventing the Canvas Wheel

This recording is from a live faculty workshop originally planned as an in-person session. Due to COVID-19, the workshop was moved to Zoom with less than 24 hours' notice, requiring a rapid transition to a fully online format.

I include this presentation because it reflects an important part of instructional design and faculty support: adapting to unexpected challenges. Despite a few technical hiccups during the live session, the workshop continued successfully and provided valuable resources and strategies for faculty. Technology doesn't always cooperate, and being able to troubleshoot, adjust, and keep moving is just as important as careful planning.

Quick Reference Guides

Not every support question requires a lengthy tutorial. For common tasks, I often create annotated screenshots that provide concise, visual instructions users can reference in seconds. These quick guides are ideal for highlighting specific interface elements or simple workflows while reducing the need for additional support.
