Hi, I'm Van

An experienced instructional/ learning designer with over 10 years of expertise in designing and delivering effective learning content for businesses across various sectors.

MY STORY

Instructional Design is my ''ikigai''

‘Ikigai’ is a Japanese concept meaning “a reason for being”. In career, it refers to the job we do that fulfills ourselves personally, socially and financially. 

Embarking on my professional journey, I discovered a profound connection to Instructional Design—it became my “ikigai,”. This realization led me to transition my career path towards becoming an Instructional Designer in early 2020, a decision I’ve never looked back on.

Training Theories & Models I applied in my training sessions:

  1. ADDIE
  2. Bloom’s Taxonomy
  3. Andragogy (Adult Learning)
  4. Gagné’s 9 Events of Learning
  5. Kirkpatrick’s Levels of Evaluation
  6. Mayer’s Principles for eLearning

Tools I can use: 

  • Authoring tool: Articulate Storyline & Rise (Advanced level)
  • Visual design: Illustrator, Canva
  • Video creation: Camtasia, Vyond
  • Data: Power BI, Kibana
