Webucate Us^® is the web home of Cyrelle Gerson, freelance Flash and online course developer. I retired from full-time association work a few years ago and I am now applying my experience to a wide variety of new projects.

In the spirit of life-long learning, I also completed a masters degree in information technology from Virginia Tech. This experience helped me to improve my software development and computer programming skills, among many other benefits.

Work Experience

Recent clients for whom I have created online courses have included:

• American Chemical Society's Membership Division
• American Chemical Society's Education Division
• American Institute for Conservation of Art and Historic Work
• International Facility Management Association
• National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization
• National Recreation and Park Association

I worked for the American Chemical Society for 25 years, where I was the manager and leader of distance education programs. I produced many types of continuing education programs for chemical and pharmaceutical scientists, focusing on courses delivered by various kinds of electronic media, including:

• Internet-based interactive courses
• Live satellite television and videotapes
• Audio-tapes

My previous experience included four years with the American Pharmaceutical Association, where I was responsible for all activities dealing with long term care. I organized and produced seminars, educational programs, and publications for pharmacists and the public.

Early in my career I was a high school chemistry teacher and a university instructor in chemistry and pharmacy. I also spent a few years in chemical and pharmaceutical research as well as 1 1/2 years in pharmacy practice.
