These learning opportunities include scenario-based simulations, custom HTML5 interactions, and hand-crafted videos.
Vancouver Police Department.
Prior to my current role I worked at the Vancouver Police Department as a Curriculum Design Specialist. My primary commitments were to create effective eLearning & blended-learning courses to prepare officers for their duties. Examples of courses and programs I helped develop include:

English Language Learners.
Newcomers to Canada must show that they are proficient in speaking, reading, listening, and writing English and can take proficiency test to prove it. I worked with the creators of the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) to build study materials to maximize the test-takers' likelihood of success. This included prep guides, textbooks and webinars.
