Project Summary 

 

I taught an introduction to online learning course for new online students. Specifically they learned how to: 

 

• take ownership of their educational journey

• set SMART goals

• manage their time

• take constructive feedback

• create a plan for their academic success

​

Part of my responsibilities were to create weekly announcements that informed students of what was coming up, how to ask for help, and provided context into each week's topic. In my first term teaching, I created my first version of announcements and saved them and their source code to a word document. 

​

The first thing I wanted to ensure in my announcements is that they were all consistent. I wanted students to look at each week and know which information was going to be where. I created 3 templates for each week. The first was an introduction, the second was a midweek check-in, and the last was a week end reminder. I created a "Week #" visual that I put at the top of each announcement. Each week had its own color scheme, but the size and font were the same. 

​

On top of the "Week #" visual, the "Beginning Week" announcement included 3 header visuals
-  "Introduction", "Assignments", and "Important Notes".
