Welcome

Welcome to my Blog. My name is Mark and I have a wife, 2 children (9 y.o. boy and an 11 y.o. girl) and a dog. I live in Maryland - just outside of Washington, DC.

As a student at Walden University’s Instructional Design and Technology program, I am strongly interested in Adult Learning theory. Currently, I work for a nonprofit medical association as their eLearning Manager. I work with professionals (i.e. physicians and nurses) who range from their early 30’s to their late 70’s and I help them obtain their Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits. Prior to eLearning, I worked in web development. I enjoy the technical aspect of my current position as an eLearning Manager which ranges from creating new instructional videos to post on our Learning Management System (LMS), working with vendors to create eLearning Apps (mostly native IOS or Android Apps) and case-based question bank content to help learners with their Board Exam preparations.

I wear many hats in my eLearning position. One thing that I strive for is to focus on the usability and accessibility of the learning content. Please feel free to add any comments to my post. I am looking forward to hear from my Distant Learning classmates.

Hi Mark! I'm in your EDUC course at Walden and I'll be following along with your blog. I'm from Southern Maryland (but live in Alexandria now), so I think it's awesome you live there!

Good evening Mark!
I'm in the group with you for Distance Learning.

Notice you had Tom Kuhlmann's blog. I have been using Storyline the past year "love it" at least compared to Captivate.
I have learned so much from his blog post along with the elearning community from Articulate.
Hope to learn a bit more from you as well. I'm new to elearning because I work for the state and they have alot of old software (such as MICROSOFT 2007) which took awhile to get storyline.
