I was soley responsible for this project. Within this scope, I conducted all research and preparation for final submission. No further assistance was required nor requested.

Competencies Illustrated
__Management and Implementation__ This paper explores various theories of motivation and studies indicating results that support the premise of this paper with specific factors that can contribute to the motivation of an employee resulting in increased work performance. Motivation can affect productivity, employees stress level, morale, and team building. Employee motivation needs to be seen as a means to adult learning and performance improvement. We are in the process of implementing a new PACS system into the Healthcare system. We asked staff for volunteers to be super users. Encouraging employees to work under their own initiatives has made employees feel empowered and more enthusiastic about their job.  __Communication__ This paper illustrates my ability to concisely communicate concepts and how those concepts apply in the real world. In addition to fulfilling a course requirement, I have used recognition of team members contribution to help my team increase work performance. With these new skills I have been able to assist in planning and promoting organizational change. I have worked with staff and management on establishing an environment that fosters job satisfaction.



Context
This proposal was created as a final assignment from a collaboration of multiple class concept assignments in EDF 5461 at FSU in Aug. 08'

Condition
For this evaluation I had access to the radiology, pathology and IT dept workflow. This evaluation proposal was performed due to a failure mode affect analysis that discovered that pertinent patient information was missing. I created the table and questionnaire presented in this artifact.

Scope
This evaluation was used to assist the pathology and radiology electronic integration. After the pilot of the integration, the stakeholders were interviewed as stated in this proposal. The integration has now been fully implemented across the healthcare system.

Role
Within the scope of my responsibilities, I gathered workflow information, discussed ethical issues and used evaluation standards to support this proposal.

Competencies Illustrated
__Evaluation and Research__ This evaluation was used in our organization to pilot a possible solution to decrease human error. The evaluation started out by evaluating human performance. It also included all major steps required for training to make this a success. At this time this new procedure has been fully implemented across the healthcare system where I am presently employed. This analysis improved the organization by decreasing the chances of human error and therefore providing superior patient care.

__Technology Integration and Media Application__ This pilot allowed me to develop a professional network with departments I normally do not work with. After the decision was made to implement this hospital wide, I assisted in training the technologists on how to use the radiology/pathology electronic integration. I applied the knowledge of ethical, legal and human issues as they relate to patient confidentiality.

Context
This was a final project for EME 5603 (Intro to Systematic Ins Des) at FSU in Dec of 07'

Condition
I worked with radiology technologists to design this instructional unit. I designed, developed and evaluated a 30 minute unit of self paced instruction. I provided the instructional objectives, examples of assessment items, an outline of the instructional strategies, and reported the results a formative evaluation. The images were collected from live anonymized patient studies images collected from MHS clip art.

Scope
This was a prototype of a instructional unit that can be used as a review for technologists. During the evaluation process, there were seven volunteer users. Formal component of this instructional unit have not been implemented, however, techs have been using it as a resource.

Role
I was solely responsible for this project. Within the scope of this instructional unit, I designed, developed and evaluated a unit of instruction by using systematic instructional design procedures.

Competencies Illustrated
__Design and Development__ I developed this 30 min self-paced module for radiologic technologists by using systematic design procedure. It was designed for seasoned technologist to review the concept of contrast on a radiograph. I wrote the objectives based on a learner analysis that showed technologists' inability to recall the factors that affect contrast.

__Analysis__ This final project began with a proposal describing the goal, rationale and target audience for the instructional unit. Then I prepared a task analysis, context and learner analysis. Based on the analysis, I created the leaning objectives for the unit. Lastly, I conducted a small group formative evaluation and described the evaluation methof and results.

Context
This job task analysis (JTA) was performed in EME 5601 (Introduction to Instructional Systems ) at FSU in March 08'.

Condition
I worked with Mammography Technologists, Ultrasound Technologists and a Breast Imaging Technologist. This analysis was performed over a two week period. I used the tabular format to illustrate my results.

Scope
The analysis was created to evaluate the position of a breast imaging technologist. This project was delivered to administration. As I recommended, a committe was formed to discuss the introduction of a Breast Imaging Technologist. This position has been placed on hold.

Role
This was an individual project, I completed all phases of the project.

Context
This Multimedia Micro Lesson was created in EME 6507 (Multimedia Des & Dev) in February 10'

Condition
I designed and developed a five minute web-based, interactive lesson that adheres to Mayer's principles. I had to work with a web designer to assist in the development of this lesson. The images were acquired from anonymized patient records.

Scope
This lesson was intended to be used for patient information prior to having a barium enema. Although, this lesson is available online, it is not currently being used by patients.

Role
I personally completed all roles in this project.

Competencies Illustrated
__Design & Development__ This 5 minute multimedia lesson on Barium Enema was intended for patients that are scheduled to undergo a barium enema procedure. This demonstrative video, complimented by an online quiz gives the patient an interactive experience for their upcoming procedure.  __Technology Integration and Media Applications__ I created a 5 minute multimedia lesson that is web-based, interactive and adheres to Mayer's principles and learning theories. The web-based multimedia lesson has multiple screens, graphics, learner interactions that extend beyond clicking navigational buttons and has clear learner directions. The technologies implemented include an access database back-end ASP (active server page) front end. This allows for the user to register their responses and then query their results with the ability to edit their own responses, thus reinforcing their learning outcomes.
