Student Success Lessons

Below is a short sample of one of the lessons that I have designed. Due to a paywall and privacy settings I am unable to share you on a lesson directly. If you would like a closer look at this lesson I would be happy to walk you through it on a video call.  

Scope and Intention: I designed this lesson to be used in introductory community college courses. My intention was to create a personalized interactive experience that would teach students how to effectively communicate with professors and access the resources they need to achieve their academic goals. I included student stories (such as Genesis's story) to create an approachable narrative. Also, I used diverse widgets and interactions to promote active learning. My client's guidelines for this project were open-ended and they provided very little source material. Therefore, I wrote all the content and designed all the activities.

The Learning Objective: By exploring the available resources at community college and practicing how to get the support they need, students will be prepared to solve problems by communicating with professors and using campus resources.

Learning Goals: 

• Student recognizes that they have a lot of prior knowledge, but might need help filling in gaps.
• Student recognizes the value of seeking help and using wide range of resources during college.
• Student becomes familiar with overall functions of advising, finances, and academic resources. 
• Students practices identifying who to go to for help when things go wrong.
• Students formulates appropriate questions and a formal email to communicate with professors.
