After creating the original Power Point presentation, it was necessary to make it accessible. This became and opportunity to create a tutorial around the process. This playlist of four instructional videos, were created to instruct and explore the existing accessibility tools available in Microsoft PowerPoint. OBS was utilized for screen and audio capture of the PowerPoint accessibility implementation. Adobe After Effects was used to edit and render the video, which is hosted on Youtube and captioned for the hearing impaired.

Red and blue beta fish. Theory of Color mini-course.
Theory of Color mini-course

Additional Comments:

This three part mini-course painting course, which focusses on color theory for painting, was originally created for Western Oregon University’s CSE 616: Creating Online Courses and was developed in Canvas. I later recreated this course for the Moodle cloud LMS, which is the version linked in the images above. The course was developed with adult learning pedagogy in mind and the modules are scaffold to instruct learners on color theory as well as the materials before applying knowledge to practice. The submission process allows for peer collaboration and discussion. In the WOU version of this course I was able to use the built in tools to tie into rubrics and outcomes, which I found to be a handy layer and benefit of canvas in contrast to Moodle cloud.

This three part mini-course painting course, which focusses on the 12 Principles of Design, Design Elements for Painters, and apply that understanding in ways to improve our acrylic painting approaches. Originally created during my study of Adult Learning (ED:610) at Western Oregon University and I found to be a great addition to the Color Theory course. This course was developed for the Moodle cloud LMS was developed with adult learning pedagogy in mind. The modules are scaffold to instruct learners on design principles and materials before applying knowledge to practice. During the course we put our knowledge into practice, which requires students to upload images of their painted project work(s) to Moodle for collaborative feedback.
