Introduction
Hello, I’m Jason Norris. I love helping people learn.
I’m currently an instructional designer at DBU, and previously I built online courses for high school and middle school students through ACCESS.
I am also a podcast producer and editor, and I’m diving into the world of microlearning and mobile learning. I’m mixing it all together to bring you something super cool called OnTheGo Learning. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, please take a look at the items in my portfolio below to see some examples of my work. Or learn more about me here.

Job Aid
There are two edits you must make to your audio so learners can hear you clearly when they’re listening to you on the go. Remember these settings when you produce your next teaching or training podcast episode.

Explaining Podcasting
In 2015/2016, only about half the population of the United States (age 12+) was familiar with podcasting. In order to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of podcasting, I created a short course—a podcast primer. (more…)
Noise: Not just technical difficulties
This is an example of on-the-go microlearning. Designed as an audio podcast first, the focus was on one specific aspect of communication (noise). The episode and article explained how four types of noise can disrupt communication. (more…)
