Hi! My name is Ruth Hurst and I am a Learning Experience Designer (LXD) at TVO.me, an educational media organization that provides a range of content including educational resources for Ontarians of all ages.
In my role as an LXD, I apply my passion for instructional design to create engaging and impactful e-learning activities that align with the Ontario Secondary curriculum and support the Ministry of Education and TVO ILC’s goals. I collaborate with members of the Digital Learning team and subject matter experts to ensure the quality and relevance of the learning experiences that we deliver to our diverse learners.
My educational background includes a certificate in Instructional Design, a Bachelor of Education (Intermediate/Senior Chemistry & Physics), and a Bachelor of Materials Engineering and Society.
My core competencies include curriculum design and selection, course material development, adult learning theories, differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, and project management. I am technically proficient in Brightspace, Google Suite, iMovie, Adobe Suite, Articulate Suite, PowerPoint, and Storyline, which enables me to seamlessly integrate technology into my instructional strategies and enhance the learning experience for all participants.
