Hi, I’m Carrie. I design learning systems that make complex instructional work clear, structured, and usable for educators.
My work focuses on course review, course architecture, and evidence-based redesign in higher education. I build structured, scalable learning experiences that support learner variability and lead to meaningful, defensible improvement decisions.
Access-Oriented Redesign
A higher education course focused on how outcomes, assessment, participation, and accessibility shape learner experience. Participants analyze course elements through an access-oriented lens and complete a focused redesign that improves clarity and support without lowering academic expectations.
Evidence-Based Course Review
A structured course review process that guides faculty and instructional designers in analyzing course artifacts, distinguishing evidence from assumption, evaluating quality across dimensions, and prioritizing improvements based on learning impact. It focuses on moving from evaluation to prioritized, evidence-based recommendations.
Course Architecture & UX
A course focused on how course architecture, including navigation, pacing, module structure, and instructional routines, shapes learner access and progress. Participants evaluate structural design decisions and develop targeted improvements that create clearer, more consistent pathways while maintaining academic rigor.
Pattern-Based Redesign
A pattern-based redesign course that guides faculty and instructional designers in identifying recurring course-level patterns, analyzing their impact on learner experience, and prioritizing high-leverage improvements. Participants develop a focused, evidence-informed redesign plan that strengthens learning conditions over time.
