In my role at Adtalem Global Education, I was responsible for everything in terms of Instructional Design. The thing that I valued the most was their analysis process. Being a medical teaching institution, they sure did it right! We really dug in and did a deep dive into the analysis process. The whole process took approximately four months.
I started with the change lead, whom I worked very closely with as she conducted a change analysis study, rating changes as small, medium, or large. This helped me determine the level of training and reinforcement activities needed.
I also had the opportunity to indulge in one of my favorite activities, which is using my creative side of the brain. I developed an explainer video using Toonly, and I was extremely pleased with the result. It was my first time using Toonly, and I intend to use it extensively in the future in my Instructional Design projects.

Diversity
Living the majority of my adult life in San Francisco, I feel like I know a little bit about diversity, and the fact that I’m a gay man has taught me the importance of representation. I try and represent all of the diverse cultures that make up this beautiful country, as I believe that every person of every culture has something important to bring to the table. This is why I did my best to include people from all walks of life in my Toonly explainer video.
Adtalem Testimonials
I really enjoyed having Jamey on my team as an instructional designer. Jamey was always ready to take on a project and add immediate value, whether it be through creating a storyboard for ideation or jumping right to creating a video so we could get a reaction. Jamey embraces technology as a tool to enhance learning experiences, and he does so with a focus on ensuring that the end user is successful. Jamey’s professional attitude was spot on – respectfully requesting the information he needed to meet his deadlines and being clear when a lack of information was causing a challenge. Jamey’s open communication and friendly manner made him extremely easy to work with.

Jamey is detail-oriented, easy to work with, and very responsive. While working with him prepping training materials for Student Advisors, he made sure that the training materials highlighted each step of the Advisor's experience. I even used the training material he made as reference during UAT to help make sure the UAT testers were getting expected results. It is sometimes difficult to work with others in a virtual environment on a communication basis, but Jamey was always quick to respond and provide what was needed. Any team would be lucky to have Jamey to work with them.
