Instructional Design Manager
@Etonkids Insternational Education Group
Etonkids Education Group, founded in 2002, is the first education group in China to obtain ISO 9001 quality management certification. It offers integrated education services for children and families from 0 to 18 years old, including family education, daycare, kindergartens, camps, vocational education, and education technology. Over the past 20 years, Etonkids has gained widespread trust and recognition for its high-quality education, expanding to nearly 60 schools across 17 Chinese cities, and establishing bilingual international kindergartens in Australia and the U.S., evolving into a global education group.
AMA Training Program
At Etonkids, a major accomplishment of mine was completing the development of an online professional development program for Montessori teachers of children aged 3-6 as the instructional designer for AMA (Asia Montessori Association). The courses included modules for Montessori lead teachers and assistants, covering key topics such as philosophy, observation, practical life, and classroom leadership. Renowned international Montessori educators were invited to teach the courses, which were recorded as video lessons, supplemented by live interactive sessions. After studying, participants were required to complete assignments and discussions, and those who passed could apply for a teacher certification issued by MACTE(Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education). I also assisted in translating the English course content into Chinese, wrote course module study guides, and proofread the translated video transcripts.
Notably, I was not only responsible for online learning but also worked with the technical department from an educational technology perspective to optimize and upgrade the LMS system, providing the maximum technical support for learning. The upgraded system integrated the latest educational technologies, significantly improved platform efficiency, and enabled the company to manage and utilize the knowledge content library more effectively.
CFO Program
During this period, one of the teaching projects I was responsible for was the CFO series courses, produced in collaboration with the International Early Years Education Association (IEYEA). CFO stands for Chief Family Officer. This is an empowerment course designed for new mothers after childbirth, aimed at equipping them with the latest research findings to educate their children, helping them balance and manage their careers alongside family roles. The educational theories in the course guide mothers in caring for and nurturing their babies using the Montessori approach. My responsibility included working with subject matter experts (SMEs) to develop the course into an online format that aligns with effective online learning practices, organizing the content based on the baby's age in months, and delivering the course through a Learning Management System (LMS).
Childcare Professional Development Program
At Etonkids, I was responsible for a large-scale online Childcare Training Program. It was a company-level flagship project in collaboration with 50 childcare institutions in Beijing. I worked with Subject Matter Experts, sales and technical departments and developed a training program consisting of 68 micro-lessons. The program not only comprehensively enhances childcare personnel’s theoretical knowledge and practical skills, but also empowers their career development, helping childcare institutions optimize talent cultivation and improve teachers' professional qualities and competencies. Learners watch videos and receive a training certificate after passing the exam.
I designed online instruction through an LMS to meet the training needs, which included dividing learning modules, establishing learning processes, feedback, and assessments, as well as supervising and managing learning progress through data analysis. Additionally, I created video tutorials and manuals to help learners quickly familiarize themselves with the platform, facilitating smoother adaptation to online learning.
Premium Courses
During this period, I planned a series of Premium courses. I invited experts in the field of early childhood education and collaborated with them to create short video courses, each lasting 3 to 5 minutes, aimed at improving early childhood education literacy. I collaborated with experts to create course outlines, then reviewed and proofread their written drafts. I also coordinated with the filming department for video recording, communicated to ensure the production quality, and ultimately produced high-quality educational videos, which were then uploaded to the LMS for teaching.
