Julie worked with Collegis Education in the instructional design role for a course development project with one of our university clients. Julie was an excellent partner and collaborator. She came in during a time of need and was ready to start right away given her rich understanding of instructional design and of learning technology, including Blackboard Learn. We quickly established an excellent rapport with her, one she also had with the partner and the faculty subject matter experts. The courses she developed were done professionally, followed best practice, were engaging and effective, and met our needs as well as our partner institutions’. The Collegis team looks forward to working with Julie again in the future.

“First of all, Julie has great people and time management skills with developing nursing curriculum content. She kept everything moving by scheduling weekly meeting appointments to ensure I was on task with getting the curriculum sent to her for revisions and uploading into the Canvas Learning Management System. Her positive attitude and flexibility were a motivation for me, being this was my first time developing a blueprint for an Associate Degree Nursing program.
Julie’s skills as an Instructional Designer/Learning Engineer are awesome! She completed the necessary research in assisting me to develop an e-portfolio in Microsoft One Note into the Canvas Learning Management system for the student nurses in Transition to Nursing Practice class. Julie was dedicated and determined in finding out how to create an e-portfolio for this curriculum by asking the right questions to me of how I wanted it developed. She understood what I wanted developed. I appreciate everything Julie did with assisting me developing this course.”

“Over the past five years, I benefited from the academic and professional leadership provided in her role as my Academic Dean. Dr. Lawrence encourages the use of course data, coupled with innovative teaching approaches, to drive quality learning experiences for students. Dr. Lawrence led a team charged with investigating opportunities to increase asynchronous interactions in competency-based education courses. During this project, she skillfully balanced advocating for innovation, pushing the boundaries of what could be capable within educational technology tools, and advocating for a meaningful student experience.”
