2022 Project: NUIM | Assess for Success
Role: eLearning Consultant / Project Manager / Developer
Year: 2021-2022
Project Details: Developing Open Education Resources for Assess for Success Initiative, ensuring alignment with existing brand identity elements, including logos and guides. My role involved guiding the client through the production process, creating a suite of open education resources in various formats, designing and developing guides, infographics and animations, and editing existing videos. The project involved working with the client and SMEs panel through the following stages:
- Discussing an approach
- Agreeing on esthetics (user guides, infographic templates, video transition, in-video visuals, etc.)
- Designing Prototypes (Guides, Presentation Slides, Infographics)
- Production of deliverables
- Quality assurance and reviews
- Publishing and delivery
Examples of work: Guides and Infographics:
Over 25 infographics and student guides were created across five topic areas. Some examples are embedded below.
Examples of work: Multimedia
SME-recorded ‘talking head’ videos were edited and branded for the project to ensure a cohesive look and feel across the resources. Several animations were scripted and explicitly storyboarded for this project. Due to the cost factor, the client decided to create animations to the existing audio extracted from workshop slides and webinar recordings (therefore, not great audio quality and not as sleek as usually expected content flow).

The ‘Assess for Success’ initiative showcased the power of OERs in promoting accessible and inclusive education. By creating a diverse range of high-quality open educational resources, we were able to support learners from various backgrounds and learning styles. The project also highlighted the importance of effective project management, instructional design, and creativity in ensuring the successful development and delivery of educational content.
In conclusion, my role as a Project Manager and Learning Designer on the ‘Assess for Success’ initiative with NUIM allowed me to demonstrate my ability to guide clients through complex production processes, collaborate with SMEs, and develop engaging and effective educational resources. The successful completion of this project further reinforced my commitment to creating accessible and inclusive learning experiences that empower learners and support their academic success.
