Prior to the construction of the Distance Education site, I participated on a team of developers hired to design the extensive Online Orientation. This orientation is required for all perspective students, and makes sure that they gain the skills necessary to take an online course. While my time was mostly spent on constructing the structure and interface of the cite, I also participated in creating Flash tutorials and other interactive elements, including a schedule tool written in JavaScript.

The online orientation to Distance Education contains several Flash tutorials. Using animation that follows a voice over, the tutorials guide the students through the step needed to do things such as take an online quiz, or log into an online course.
