In 2001, Kennesaw State Universities'
Cyber Crimes Task Force
asked Martin and his wife to
develop a
training course for parents and educators on the dangers children
face from internet
child predators. Martin worked closely
with Cobb County detectives, investigators and other
subject matter experts. After September 11, funding was cut to the
project, but Martin and his
wife continued speaking at
Cobb County PTA functions and elementary schools on the
dangers of the Internet to children.
In February 2002,
Optio Software
hired Martin
as a developer/trainer. He
developed instructor
led training, webinars, and computer
based training on forms automation for hospital electronic
medical records. In 2004, Martin joined the research and
development team. He was
responsible for developing the
computer based training for the new Medex electronic medical
records product line including; the design of the application user
interface, graphics,
buttons, logos, help menus, wiki and
more. In June of 2007, Bottom Line Technologies
purchased
Optio Software, and the research and development division closed.
In September of 2007, Martin joined the
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
technical training
team as a full-time
consultant/developer for the Learning Services division. His
responsibilities
include the development of the Business
Acumen for Managers training course, Taleo, and
Epic
Systems training. Since March of 2009, Martin has worked
exclusively on the
development of the new
ADDIE based
training template for Children's Healthcare. Dr Carol
Barnum of
Southern Polytechnic University's Usability Center conducted the
usability testing on
the new template for Children’s
Healthcare. Pilot testing for the first course created with the
new template began in October of 2010, and went live to the whole
organization in December.
Currently, Martin is developing the design standards documentation
and guidelines for new
developers coming on-board at
Children’s. The goal is to train new developers how to design
stand-alone modular activities that can be re-used, and quickly
inserted into new training
courses to shorten development
times and costs. Modular activities will allow Children's
Healthcare to build an extensive activities library that all
developers can utilize when designing
future training
courses, and keep a consistent look and feel in every training
course.
