Carol Shepherd

Grad Student attending a master's program focusing on Instructional Design and Technical Communications. I am also a Wordpress aficionado.

Over my career I've been an instructor, consultant, entrepreneur, and software developer ( J2EE, Spring, Hibernate, and list of alphabet soup). I have an undergraduate degreen in computer science with an emphasis in artifiial intelligence.

Next career? Design and deliver training materials for a technology related problem domain. I enjoy creating multimedia assets and technical illustrations. I'm proficient at web development and many of the Adobe tools ( InDesign, Illustrator, Captivate, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash Catlayst, Flex). I use mindmapping as a way of determining the composition and sequencing of learning assets. I enjoy leading workshops and training events; public speaking is also fun. When writing, or working in an area laden with aesthetical concerns, I prefer to partner with a team.
