I&#8217;m Ashley Chiasson, a thirty-something Instructional Designer with over a decade of professional experience across various industries (Defence, Health, Post-Secondary Education, Sales). I know the ins and outs of wrangling complex content into engaging learning material, and I&#8217;m passionate about developing training solutions for any industry. I want to foster the lifelong learning movement and make learning as simple and effective as I can for each and every user.<\/p>\n<p>With a Masters of Education (Post-Secondary Studies) from Memorial University of Newfoundland and a Bachelor of Arts (Linguistics and Psychology) from Saint Mary&#8217;s University, I fancy myself well-versed in various instructional strategies and being able to conduct discourse analysis like a boss! Originally, I wanted to be a Speech-Language Pathologist or a Technical Writer when I grew up, but when I fell into the world of Instructional Design, I was shocked and in awe of how much I enjoyed behind-the-scenes teaching!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Instructional Design? <em>Whaaaat?!<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>I know, I know. A lot of people scratch their head when I tell them what I do for a living. Around these parts, Instructional Designers are few and far between. Try explaining to someone that you have developed training solutions for the Defence sector, but that you&#8217;re not in the military and you aren&#8217;t an aircraft pilot &#8211; you will be met with shock and amazement!<\/p>\n<p>The great thing about Instructional Design is that you get to wear so many different hats!\u00a0&#8211; One day, you&#8217;re an aircraft pilot, the next day, you&#8217;re an Occupational Therapist! On Monday, you might be developing a university graduate course, while on Thursday you might be developing a complex training aid to illustrate alternating and direct current flow for an aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>The short story is that I design and develop training solutions to meet your needs. If you need Instructor-Led training, I can do that! If you need self-paced computer-based training, I can do that! If you need a user manual developed, I can do that! If you need a storyboard scripted for video or audio narration, I can certainly do that! Don&#8217;t know if you need training? I can provide you with a needs assessment &#8211; this is a great way to assess your current situation and potentially save you money by making your training more effective or by advising you that e-learning solutions just aren&#8217;t what you need right now.<\/p>\n<p>I want to make all of my clients happy, and I&#8217;m more than willing to hold your hand each step of the way. Please pop by my Services and Portfolio pages to see what I can do for you! If there&#8217;s something you&#8217;re looking for that isn&#8217;t listed, please don&#8217;t hesitate to email me, and I will customize a solution for you, or refer you to another fantastic freelancer who may be better able to suit your needs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What else?<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m married to my best friend, and we&#8217;re the fur-parents of 3 rescue animals: Milo, Alison, and Oliver.\u00a0When I&#8217;m not working, I enjoy playing baseball, running, and reading (not at the same time)!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/ashleychiasson.com\/blog\/portfolio\/\">Check out my portfolio!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The availability of writing services adds a valuable dimension to the educational landscape.
