Meyers described my current work context pretty well, a \u201cLearning Technologist is actively involved in understanding, managing, researching, supporting or enabling learning with the use of learning technology\u201d (Meyers, 2020, 17:35). I\u2019m generally focused on the implementation aspects of the design process and work with an instructional designers (ID) and Subject Matter Experts (SME) who come to me with many ideas and reasons to what they are looking to build. With all these ideas presented to me, I need to use a flexible set of tools (programs, processes and strategies) to build and support materials that meet the needs of all stakeholders (Lacheb & Boling, 2018). As I primarily work with a technical focus, I decided to outline some of my design superpowers as gadgets with the image and descriptions below:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3d Printifier: <\/strong><\/span>With the 3D Printifier, I build out ID and SME ideas into content, assessments, activities and more. Either direct requests or set timelines on course development spring me into action!<\/span><\/p>\n

High-Speed Jetpack: <\/strong><\/span>This super speed jetpack allows me to provide just-in-time support to upcoming and live courses. Sometimes changes are needed on short notice and I need to respond quickly to ensure a course is setup to run as smooth as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Detail Tracking Goggles: <\/strong><\/span>My attention to detail goggles help ensure proper quality assurance standards while building and reviewing courses. This could be related to accessibility, compatibility, or consistency of information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Application Belt: <\/strong><\/span>This belt contains all the applications I have at my disposal. While certain ones like Moodle may see the most use, there are many others available for the specific needs of different course and project contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n

All in One Communicator: <\/strong><\/span>With stakeholders around the globe I am constantly communicating through text, audio and video. The all in one communicator keeps me connected and ready to collaborate at any moment.<\/span><\/p>\n
