My Papers

While at Raytheon, I wrote several papers regarding multimedia production and quality management, as well as one summarizing the findings of my dissertation. These papers are linked below.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PLAY AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY ON PROCEDURAL LEARNING, LEARNER ENJOYMENT, AND INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

This paper summarized the interesting findings of my dissertation research -- which were not exactly what I had expected! I presented this paper at an instructional design conference at the University of Georgia in May of 2001.

This paper, in .pdf format, discusses quality assurance techniques applied to web-based training production. I presented this paper at the 2001 Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference in Orlando, Florida.

AN E-LEARNING PRIMER

This paper, also in .pdf format, was written in 2001 to explore, in general terms, the concept of e-learning and characteristics unique to the production of web-based training.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PLAY ON PROCEDURAL LEARNING, LEARNER ENJOYMENT, AND INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

Whew! My dissertation, presented to my committee at the University of South Alabama in March of 2000. With a few changes, they signed...and I became a Ph.D. in Instructional Design.
