Get to Know Me
Hi, I’m Finola O’Driscoll. As an Educator and Learning Designer, I specialize in creating meaningful and captivating learning experiences that engage and inspire learners.
My background in English and Media has taught me to think creatively and has given me a unique blend of experience in instructional design, learning and development, communication, multimedia production and project management.
My background in education has taught me the importance of high-quality instruction using a strategic mindset, having the ability to see the “big picture” and then translate big ideas into interactive learning modules. As a learning designer, I use strong visual design skills to create engaging experiences while learning new knowledge, ensuring at the center of every lesson is the learner.
As a professional, I thrive on feedback which I use in combination with my understanding of how people learn. Having been grounded in learning theory since the beginning of my academic career, I have been incorporating the many theories and elements to eliminate any barriers in learning.
