Welcome!
My name is John Huxtable, and I'm an eLearning developer/instructional designer with a background in graphic design. I have been working in this field for almost 9 yrs now. I am an expert in the use of Captivate, Storyline, Camtasia, Vyond, VideoScribe and the Adobe Suite. I am proficient in Office products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook. I am also proficient in the use of the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) as an Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model. I have experience in writing audio scripts and doing my own voice-over recording and editing. In Storyline my body of work includes extensive use of layers, triggers, states, actions, custom player options and variables. I have created templates that involved extensive use of Master slides. I have experience in creating interactive scenarios, as well as system simulations, quiz gamification and standalone assessments. I also understand the importance of meeting deadlines with quality work.

I worked as an eLearning developer and graphic artist contractor, where my duties involved creating training for their Rapid Delivery training program. I created modules starting with PowerPoint storyboards and developed them to LMS ready courses using both Captivate and Storyline. All of these projects had me working closely with the SME assigned to each project. My background as a graphic designer provided me with the ability to develop assets in both Illustrator and Photoshop whenever needed. I also have a background in animation which allowed me to create animations in VideoScribe, Flash and CrazyTalk animator.

EXPERTISE
eLearning
My years of experience make me a perfect fit for all of your eLearning needs. I work well with SME's assuring that the project turns out the way the client wants it to. Working for myself for many years has honed my time management skills allowing me to meet your timeline on schedule.
Graphic Design
Are you tired of using the same out of the box characters for your training? Would you like to have some fresh never before seen characters to spice up your training? Let me help your training shine, and stand out from the rest. This option is not limited only to characters, I have built courses where I created many unique assets.
Animation/Video Simulations
There's no question that adding animation to your projects helps bring them to life and stand out from standard static training. Sometimes video simulations are the only way to show your learners what they need to know. Allow me to use my expertise in both of these areas to help bring more zest to your projects.
