Instructional Design
Engaging Online Learners:
Two-day Professional Development
This project features a two-day professional development experience focused on online learner engagement. I collaborated with another instructional designer to analyze learner needs and develop engaging, practical learning experiences. The project demonstrates how instructional design principles can be applied to create cohesive professional development materials to support adult learners.
Project Overview
The professional development program was designed to help instructors explore strategies for increasing engagement in online learning environments. The project included coordinated instructional materials that supported both instruction and learner participation throughout the training experience.
My Role

Audience
Adult educators and instructors seeking strategies for improving online learner engagement.
Format
