LMS Courses

Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle

I have been teaching synchronous online classes using Canvas since March of 2020 at Bunker Hill Community College. I used Blackboard to support my in-person teaching at the University of Connecticut and at Goodwin University. I have been certified on how to use Moodle to develop and teach asynchronous online courses.

Phonics and Pronunciation

Here are some instructional materials I developed using Adobe and other tools to support adult learners who were not familiar with the Roman alphabet and English spelling-pronunciation relationships.

Phonics Video: Power Point Animations with Voice-Over

I chose words from a dialog the students needed to practice, and grouped them by main vowel sound. I made a slide for each vowel group using color to highlight spelling patterns, and timed “emphasis” animations with the voiceover pronunciation of each word. The video was recorded using Screen-Cast-O-Matic.

Pronunciation Cards:
InDesign & Excel

I created an Excel database with the file paths and text for each image. In Adobe InDesign, I created a layout for flashcards with placeholders for images and text. Then, I used data merge with the Excel file to generate flashcards that dynamically inserted the text and images as needed.
