About

Welcome! My name is Sabrina Dean and I have been working in higher education for over fourteen years. My career began at Brandman University (now the University of Massachusetts Global) in the summer of 2007. During my time at Brandman, I learned a variety of skills and changed roles as the university grew and evolved. Today, because of those skills, I work as a Lead Instructional Designer at California State University, Long Beach supervising a team of Instructional Designers, lead digital learning projects, and provide high quality support to faculty, staff, and students.
Projects
Rise Content
Digital Learning
This learning activity was developed for a Subject Matter Expert (SME) using the Rise by Articulate.
Powtoon
Animation
Created for a final project while completing my MBA. The goal was to create an engaging, creative presentation. I was responsible for creating the animation in Powtoon and pairing it with the voiceover.
Video Editing
Camtasia
I worked directly with Brandman University's OneStop team to write a script for Quick Links Navigation for the MyBrandman website. Once the script was finalized, our Instructional Designer for Media Development recorded and edited the audio. Then, I screen recorded the footage and edited it with the audio with helpful visuals and callouts.
Video & Audio Editing
Camtasia
After this video was recorded by the Brandman Media Team, I edited both video and audio and added visuals.
