I believe that learning should be fun and that learners should enjoy the learning process. One way to facilitate this is to make instructional media interactive through creative design.
Recycle It Right, Rutherford County! Alternative Version
In my design for the Recycle it Right! version for Canvas, I created a character to guide and interact with the learner. I chose the name “LISA” which is an anagram for Learn, Identify, Sort, Act, which is a simple, mnemonic step that learners can remember to help them recycle effectively.

This project highlights my expertise in curriculum design, assessment development, instructional strategies, the ADDIE framework, adult learning, and lesson planning.
AECT Standards:
- AECT Standard 1: Content Knowledge (1.5) – I developed an online instructional course that supports diverse learners including those with learning, emotional/cognitive, and physical disabilities.
- AECT Standard 2: Content Pedagogy (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.5) – This standard is met by designing a flexible learning environment that integrates both asynchronous and synchronous modules, assesses learning objectives through diverse course assignments, and incorporates educational technologies such as videos and quizzes to enhance learning outcomes.
- AECT Standard 3: Learning Environments (3.2, 3.3, 3.5, and 3.6) – I implemented varied teaching strategies and assessments to evaluate learner outcomes, analyze the learning environment, and measure knowledge retention.
- AECT Standard 4: Professional Knowledge and Skills (4.1, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5) – This project demonstrates reflective practice for each course module, establishes learning goals, and applies effective instructional strategies.
- AECT Standard 5: Research (5.1, 5.3, and 5.4) – This project incorporates research-based learning strategies and tools to enhance student performance.
Mixed Paper Item Assessment
As a way to encourage learners to have fun and remember what they are learning, I created an interactive assessment and review for learners to visually identify mixed paper types and test their knowledge.

Stand Alone: Single-Stream Recycling Interactive Media Lesson
This is a stand-alone interactive lesson for single-stream recycling that relies on images for learners to recognize and associate with how to correctly recycle. I tried to keep text to a minimum with an emphasis on images with recurring color motifs to encourage knowledge retention.
