Between April of 2010 and April of 2011, I worked at \u00a0Knowledge Anywhere<\/a> (Bellevue, Washington, USA). My primary duties where to work for the Global Product Education organization (Glasgow, Delaware, USA) of\u00a0Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics<\/a>, \u00a0in the development and localization of customer training courses that have been\u00a0released<\/a> as the Personalized Education Plan (PEP) platform.<\/p>\n

My Transcript: <\/strong>The learner can track the progress and completion of all online learning and hands-on activities as well as Continuing Education (CE) credits earned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The design work involved direct development of instrument-specific training courses for end-users (Clinical Laboratory and Healthcare Professionals) in English. I also managed and developed the localization of product training materials in Spanish and assisting the localization in Brazilian Portuguese.<\/p>\n
