Course Accessibility for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students

I created this online mini-course using Articulate Storyline 360. The goal was to design and develop self-paced instruction with practice activities and assessments on an accessibility topic. Having a background in higher education, I chose to develop a lesson for college faculty. The module's primary instructional objective focuses on how to foster a more accessible learning environment when using audio-based tools such as web conferencing. This module uses animated graphics to engage the learner, click-n-reveal interactions, scenario-based activities, and quizzing with feedback.
