Technology-Based Projects

Contextual Introduction

This video project was planned, designed and fully executed using Canva. This video demonstrates my proficiency and understanding of editing videos for technical communication.  This brief 3-minute presentation is intended to improve the knowledge base of Canva designers.  I focused on describing the tasks in as few steps as possible specifically with considerations for clarity and conciseness.  The video seeks to disseminate information to assist individuals with seeking out how to improve future presentations by adding background music.

Contextual Introduction

For this project, I researched and analyzed the specific stressors for graduate students, specifically looking at interactions between sleep disturbances and academic performance.  I placed each of the still images and video snippets and then spent a generous amount of time, timing each section with the intent of making the transitions as seamlessly as possible. By articulating my words and controlling the tone, volume, and cadence of my speech I greatly improved the clarity and conciseness of this artifact.  The audience for this video is anyone interested in learning about the various benefits of self-care.
