Graphic Artist and eLearning Developer

SUMMARY: • Creative professional with more than ten years of experience in eLearning development. • Familiar with all facets of the eLearning production cycle, from conceptualization to project delivery. • Strong design and rapid authoring skills. • Experienced in developing eLearning courses according to accessibility standards. • Eye for detail and well-acquainted with quality control procedures. ABOUT ME: Hi, my name is Nina Seiler. I am a Graphic Artist and eLearning Professional from Berlin, Germany, living in San Diego, CA, since 2002. I always had a passion for art and the digital world. Thus, after moving to the United States, I decided to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts: Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts from UC San Diego. After graduating in 2008, I completed an internship at Earthguide, a web-based educational outreach team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. During this time, I began to develop a strong interest in the field of eLearning. Soon thereafter, in 2009, I started working as an eLearning Developer for ScienceMedia, a San Diego-based company that develops and produces learning materials for the life sciences industry, with customers including AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Merck, and Pfizer. My role was to turn storyboards into interactive eLearning modules and to create any additional resources, such as workbooks and job aids. In doing so, I participated in all areas of production, including art creation, animation, text implementation, as well as audio editing and syncing. Simultaneously, I designed course interfaces, prepared and maintained interface templates, and performed all steps of rapid authoring production. Rapid authoring tools that I regularly used include Captivate, Lectora Publisher, SmartBuilder, and Storyline. In 2015, I was promoted to eLearning Manager. While I continued to perform some of my previous tasks, I was responsible for evaluating and recommending development tools. I also worked with internal subject matter experts and project managers to aid in determining the possibilities and limitations of a specific software application regarding project requirements. Before a course was delivered to a client, my task was to program course assessments and to prepare AICC or SCORM packages for integration into various learning management systems (LMSs). To test the published content, I performed a functional review using the testing platform SCORM Cloud. Through these reviews, I became accustomed to the challenges associated with designing eLearning courses for use on mobile devices. Often, I worked with project managers, clients, and software developers to identify the cause of issues and to find solutions. In addition, while administrating an international training program in LearningCart, I gained substantial knowledge of the inner functions of an LMS. In this position, I also trained new employees and assigned project tasks, while simultaneously overseeing deadlines. To monitor the completion of tasks and revisions, I used project and issue tracking applications, such as Trello and Jira. I am therefore skilled at working on multiple concurrent projects and coordinating priorities to complete deliverables on time. Finally, as a member of ScienceMedia’s review team, I took an active role to unite media development with quality control. As a result, and in combination with an eye for detail, I offer the ability to complete projects at an elevated level of precision. In 2017, I decided to broaden my skill set and started working as a self-employed Graphic Artist and eLearning Developer. I have worked remotely on a wide variety of projects, either by myself or in collaboration with large teams. Since my clients are located across the United States, I am accustomed to utilizing collaborative tools, such as Basecamp, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint. Most of my work involves designing and developing Section 508-compliant course work, ranging from individual eLearning modules and documents to comprehensive training curricula. No matter what size, I enjoy the new challenge that each project poses. If you have a question or would like to work with me, please contact me.
