Web sites

EDS Web Standards site—I developed
and edited content for more than 70 web site standards and best
practices for EDS-developed internal and client web sites worldwide
(fall 2005 through December 2006). Standards covered a full

design, functionality, and accessibility to disabled web users.

Editing—I edited the final version of a
master's thesis in July; I'm including two sections of this thesis
showing my edit markups. You'll see that I edit from all

and needs, technical accuracy, and format.

Plano ISD Network Training course—In
less than three months (with no other staff available), I
researched, designed, developed, and implemented a seven-hour,
instructor-led computer lab course to train Plano ISD staff to use
the new PC network and email system that EDS was implementing in all
Plano ISD sites. I created an instructor manual (175 pages)
and student manual (144 pages) containing extensive screen graphics,
a quick reference, and numerous practice files for hands-on PC work.
I taught the course pilot to Plano ISD HR trainers, who then took
over the instruction as part of a train-the-trainer arrangement.
(Created in 1995 for the EDS Plano ISD account, although you'll see
later dates in the headers because these are print dates instead of
save dates.) I've included the following samples here:
