    Employability Skills Canvas Course

    Situation: KRESA's Career Connect Campus needed to equip 1,400 students with employment skills while maximizing the classroom time for using those skills.

    Task: Create an asynchronous Canvas course that teaches employability skills.  The purpose is to allow classroom instructors to focus on applying these skills in their career field.  The course should include input from local businesses and industry partners and provide 75 minutes of weekly engagement.

    Action:  Designed and developed the Skills for Success Canvas course.  Utilized Google Slides as the primary content delivery to allow changes to the content without editing the Canvas course. Developed a template resource for future content development to maintain style.  Designed a universal Career Connect Skills for Success rubric with multiple stakeholder inputs to  give context to student feedback on applying skills.   

    Result: 100% of the course structure and relevant supporting rubrics developed.  80% of the business and industry partner video case studies have been recorded and edited.  25% of complete course content developed.  100% of curriculum mapping completed.

    Pear Deck Interactive Content for Instruction

    Situation: Technology tools are necessary for adaptive, creative learning. Presenters/Designers often have more tools than the learners in the workshop. To be successful in supporting educators, it is important to use the tools available to all our educators to engage adult learners.

    Task: Create all our multi-modal learning activities for adult learners using the same tools that they would use to work with their students. Ensure that these are available for all educators. 

    Action:  Reviewed multiple student learning platforms for multi-modal engagement: Pear Deck, Near Pod, Screencastify, Articulate Rise, Captivate, Canvas, Google Slides, and more. We determined that Pear Deck would provide the best, broadest, most supportive synchronous and asynchronous multi-modal platform.  Developed all our adult content using Pear Deck.  Instructed using two-track (learning and meta-learning) technology platforms

    Result: Increased awareness of opportunities for Pear Deck use, maximized familiarity with the tools. Uncovered limitations and best/worst case scenarios for application of the technology and allowed 100% of our learning decks to be multimodal and persist after a workshop.
