Hi, I am Irina.
I am from Greece, and I live and work in the UK. I love technology, travelling and all things instructional design.

Who I am
I am an instructional designer with an educational background. I am a qualified teacher who has taught children, teenagers and adults (including those with special needs).
I graduated with a distinction for my Master’s in Digital Technologies, Communication and Education (TESOL), also receiving the Platt Prize from the University of Manchester. Since then, I have been utilising my skills and knowledge developing classroom, distance and e-learning courses for corporate settings like cyber security, software training and bespoke e-learning. More recently, I have also designed online Master’s Programmes for a variety of universities in the UK.
Currently, I am involved in the design of short digital courses for professionals around the world. I liaise with academic staff from the University of Cambridge and other stakeholders to create online learning modules, based on pedagogically robust learning principles and a data-driven framework.
What I do
Current job requirements include:
- Being involved in different projects on a diverse range of subject matter.
- Liaising with all academic stakeholders to understand their requirements and develop/structure course content accordingly.
- Developing comprehensive course storyboards and devising creative learning narratives.
- Developing learning activities and guiding the creation of academic assessment.
- Providing guidance for graphics, animations and all other assets required for the final product.
