Welcome to my Instructional Design E-Portfolio!
The purpose of this e-portfolio is to demonstrate my instructional design skills developed while enrolled in EME6208: Designing Integrated Media. I invite you to peruse the graphic designs, animation, web design, screencast, and video that I created.
I designed a digital book cover by manipulating stock bitmap images through BookBrush cover creator tools. I also made a logo by creating my own vector image from scratch using Inkscape.
Learn MoreI made multiple choice and drag-n-drop quizzes using HTML, Javascript, and CSS coding. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with different text editors, including Notepad, Kompozer, and Brackets.
Learn MoreI made a short instructional video on how to handle your guinea pig. I used stock photos, narration recorded on Audacity, background music from Zapsplat, and the Clipchamp video editor.
Learn MoreI used Adobe Animate, Audacity, and Clipchamp to make a 15 second animation explaining a simple blood test that screens for inflammation.
Learn MoreI used Camtasia to record and edit a screencast tutorial on How to Perform an Automated Particle Count for H&E Slide Photos on ImageJ.

Dr. Virginia "Genny" White is currently pursuing certificates in Online Teaching & Learning and in Aquatic Animal Care & Conservation through the University of Florida. She received her Doctorate of Philosophy with honors in Immunology and Microbiology at the University of Florida in 2020. She graduated from the University of Minnesota’s dual degree program to earn her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and her Masters of Public Health in 2010. For her Bachelor of Science, she double-majored in Marine Biology and Biomedical Science from Texas A&M University in 2005.
During her 15-year career in the U.S. Army, Dr. White provided lasting contributions to military medicine by serving as Co-Principal Investigator on a gene therapy to render nerve agents harmless to Military Working Dogs (MWDs), collaborating on projects with the Army Public Health Center that will determine the policy for decontaminating MWDs after Chemical/Biological/Radiation/Nuclear (CBRN) exposure, editing the Marine Mammal Program chapter in the Military Veterinary Services textbook, and participating in a focus group to develop the electronic veterinary record system that is used throughout the Army Veterinary Services today.
Dr. White's scientific expertise extends outside the Army as well. She has advanced marine mammal and reptile care & conservation through her research in over 16 Navy studies, developing the first ever prosthetic limb for a Navy Working Sea Lion, and her publication, “Assessment of Minimally Invasive Genetic Tissue Sampling Methods for the Critically Endangered Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle.” She also collaborated with Navy and NOAA Officers on field research to monitor for environmental contaminants and zoonotic diseases, ensuring the health and readiness of over 140 Navy Working Dolphins and Navy Working Sea Lions and their Handlers. She published “A Review of Influenza Viruses in Seals and the Implications for Public Health,” alerting the medical community to a previously overlooked reservoir of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. Dr. White published a protocol for making digital microscope slide images that has benefited over 300 researchers worldwide. This facilitated rapid turnaround of diagnostic and research results, image sharing and consultation, and saved physical storage space. The SERP1 gene therapy she developed during her PhD is patent-pending for use in treating inflammation in heart disease, vision-threatening inflammatory eye diseases, & ebola viral disease. As a subject matter expert in infectious disease, she was invited to peer review a COVID-19 disinfection manuscript. Her input led to improved guidance on COVID-19 infection control. She was awarded the Humanitarian Service Medal for her field response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
