EdX @ Georgetown

on

I was part of the Online Programs Team at Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship at Georgetown University that develops online courses. I worked on the following edX MOOCs:

  1. Professional Certificate in American Sign Language Science (relaunched: February 2020)
  2. Impact Evaluation Methods with Applications in Low- and Middle Income Countries (launched: August 2020)
  3. Theo-Humanism: God’s Way in Today’s World (launched: August 2020)

  • Skills and responsibilities: Course design, tech QA, managed srt files, edited video bumpers
  • Client: World Bank, various schools within Georgetown University
  • Tools: 3Play Media, Adobe Photoshop, EdX platform

I assisted in course design and conduct quality assurance testing to ensure videos, subtitles, links and backend tech are working properly.

For the Global Health Law course, I was part of the team that coordinates with Georgetown Law School. In particular, I help in refining the course design document to ensure consistency of course content, including learning outcomes, objectives, and activities/assessments. I also created a course shell in the EdX platform.

For the World Bank course, I specifically managed media assets, including videos, images, and srt files, which I uploaded to the edX platform for closed captions/subtitles to enhance course accessibility. I was in charge of file processing via 3PlayMedia and storage in our team’s shared Google Drive and an external hard drive sent to the client. Last minute changes were made in one of the modules where bumpers (intro graphic at the start of video) were edited and added, and this made the closed captions out of sync with the audio/video. Requesting for transcription again would be costly. Using an open source web app, I edited the files by adding a few seconds to the beginning of the videos.

Community of practice management

on

At the Global Environment Facility Independent Evaluation Office, I worked as the online manager of Climate-Eval, a community of practice (CoP) that facilitated peer-to-peer learning in the evaluation of climate change development programs and projects. I proposed a redesign of the website and the formulation of a coherent knowledge management strategy.

  • Skills and responsibilities: Online moderation, learning design, webinar and audiovisual production, social media management, database management, coordination with subject matter experts
  • Client: Global Environment Facility Independent Evaluation Office
  • Target Audience: International development professionals working on climate change and evaluation
  • Tools: Drupal content management system, Adobe Connect, Twitter, Linkedin

Proposal

The strategy I proposed resulted in a more streamlined online forum by using Linkedin Groups, introduction of a blog, publication of a bi-weekly newsletter, and design and delivery of webinars and online workshops. I helped produce the logo, slogan, and a video introduction about the community. I also represented Climate-Eval in international conferences in Thailand, Nepal, and South Africa. During my tenure, membership grew by 200% over two years, and a proposal I formulated secured funding from country donors for the next two years.

In 2016, Climate-Eval evolved into Earth-Eval, and underwent further website redesign. The blog, however, is still active to this day.
