Hi. I’m Sam.

Welcome to my portfolio. Take a look around. See what I do.

I’m an Instructional Designer. I help you put your classes online. Born in England, raised in New Zealand, I’m a technology-loving lifelong learner that excels at making education available to everyone. I think we all deserve a shot at getting a degree – and if you can’t make it to a face-to-face class because of distance, work, or family obligations, you should be able to take your class online; and that class should be the same quality as one you’d experience on-campus.

I believe that an online class should run without the aid of clunky, outdated textbooks. It should use collaborative tools to encourage student-to-student communication, engage students from the beginning, keep them enrolled and lead them toward success.

That’s what I do.

For the curious, check out my resume, or jump on over to my best work page to see how I can rearrange pixels in a way that engages students, and keeps them entertained while they’re accidentally learning stuff – boom!

I’d offer you coffee, but all I’ve got is a half jar of decaffeinated Colombian coffee crystals, and I don’t want us getting off on the wrong foot.
