Instructional Designer specialized in Gamification, esports, and technology
Bio
My Story
As an experienced online tutor for high school students studying for the SAT, I can take this knowledge of study habits and apply it to my design philosophy. My home is in Albuquerque, and we are a city known for it's diversity, inclusiveness, and independence compared to other communities. Some of these characteristics have rubbed off on me as well, and I am known to be well-adapted to multi-cultural projects, especially in those involving Asian countries.
About My Designs
My Professional Goals
Kevin Liou is a technology enthusiast and is bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in East Asian Studies from the University of New Mexico, and now holds his Master’s degree in Organization, Information, and Learning Sciences from UNM as well. His experience in Instructional Design is based around his design philosophy, which focuses on connectivism and socio-constructivism. He is well-versed in using virtual worlds and simulations to provide learning, and is an avid gamer. His overall goal is to start a career that relates to virtual worlds and games, not necessarily educational games. He wants to take his knowledge of education and instructional design into the world of electronic sports, and potentially help players, casters, coaches, teams, and companies excel at their craft.
