I am a trained instructional designer with a passion for designing instructor-led, eLearning or blended learning courses. I have 12 years experience teaching public education and a bachelor's and master's in education from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. I changed my focus to adults last year by completing an instructional design certificate program through the University of Wisconsin - Stout and an internship in instructional design through Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC. I am proficient in Adobe Captivate, InDesign, Photoshop and Microsoft Office. My artifacts can be found at www.karaerlandson.wordpress.com. My business, Down the Block Designs for Learning can be found at www.downtheblockdesign.wordpress.com.
