Some of these methods include the use of tools like Apple’s professional media creation applications and other digital media concepts – in addition to fundamental techniques like storytelling and game strategy.

Filmmaking Principles for Instructional Design
This month in Learning Management Systems and Organization, I learned that selecting an LMS involves much more than choosing software with attractive features. A successful LMS must support the needs of the learners, instructors, administrators, and organization. I learned about essential LMS components, including course and user management, assessments, communication tools, accessibility, reporting, security, and mobile access. I also gained a better understanding of LMS roles, content standards, governance, and the importance of keeping instructional materials current and organized.
Applying these concepts to the NAOP.US Creator Academy helped me turn an idea into a practical four-week podcasting course.
I used Bloom’s Taxonomy to write measurable learning objectives and developed a content map that connects each objective with instructional materials, research, activities, and assignments. I also explored how HighLevel could deliver self-paced lessons, videos, webinars, quizzes, downloadable resources, and learner support. Most importantly, I learned that implementing an LMS requires careful planning, testing, instructor preparation, learner feedback, and ongoing evaluation. This course gave me a clearer understanding of how technology, instructional design, and organizational leadership must work together to create a successful learning experience.
