Janella Malazarte
I’ve held many titles (Instructional Designer, Learning Experience Designer, Digital Learning Consultant, E-Learning Specialist, etc) but at the end of the day, here’s what I do:
I design and develop learning solutions so people can learn the best way they can.
Want to learn more? Here’s a brief Q&A:
Q: Tell me about yourself
A: I grew up in Manila, Philippines but I’m now located in the Greater Toronto Area in Canada. I’m a homebody and I’m slightly awkward at first, but I’m friendly.
Q: Why do you do this?
A: I like learning new things but I know it can be hard sometimes. I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to make it easy and not boring!
Q: What tools do you use?
A: Good question! I’ve used and mastered a number of e-learning authoring tools (I can pick up any tool pretty quickly now). Some of the tools I’ve used include Articulate Storyline (my personal favourite) and Rise, Adobe Captivate, Elucidat, Camtasia, and more.
Special mention to non-authoring tools I’ve used for course design: Vyond, Adobe Creative Cloud, Powerpoint/Google Slide, and Canva.
Q: What else do you enjoy in your spare time?
A: I like playing video games, reading books, obsessing about food and coffee, and hanging out with my kid and cat.
