One of my recent work samples comes from a publicly available short-course at Seattle University entitled AI Ethics for Business. The course was featured on the front page of the Seattle Times and enrolled over 550 learners in a week's time. The course was very much in draft form when the faculty team sent it over. The amazing content they created didn't yet have page headings or images, and the structure of their learning modules was inconsistent in a way that distracts learners from absorbing the thought-provoking materials that they had painstakingly created.

I use HTML/CSS (only what's on the Canvas Editor Whitelist and Bootstrap) to create the samples on this page. Editing in Canvas without access to external CSS styles requires some creativity. It's kind of like putting a puzzle together. Bootstrap provides a mobile-ready layout for the designs. I also use ThingLink to create interactive course homepages, like this one:

The publish date for the Times article, and course open, was quickly approaching when I received the course outline of the AI & Ethics for Business course. Within a week I enhanced the course by providing structure to the page layouts through alignment, headings, illustrative icons from The Noun Project and alternating color blocks:

I used multimedia slideshows in H5p to streamline the presentation of their content. I chose this authoring tool so that these faculty could take what I created and update themselves as needed. The result is a learning module design that is simple and efficient so that learners can focus on what matters - the thought-provoking topics provided by these excellent faculty. Here is an example of how slideshows condense conceptually related topics:

These slideshows enable me to streamline the Canvas learning module:
