Imported Portfolio

R. Diane Schmallegger, Ed.D.

Crafting meaningful learning journeys for adults

Portfolio Source

From a discontinued Google Sites surface to a governed profile.

Diane's former Google Sites portfolio documented two decades in instructional design, adult learning, higher education, corporate learning, course quality, and digital workflow.

The imported version keeps the portfolio under Schmallegger.net, with the old Google Site preserved as source evidence and the public story rebuilt in the Schmallegger visual language.

The result is not a screenshot museum. It is a public, maintainable portfolio page with raw source files preserved in Product-HUB and selected visuals copied into local site assets.

Experience

Two decades around online learning and instructional design.

The source portfolio documents a path through faculty work, learning design leadership, course development, corporate learning, writing, editing, and visual production.
