Community Notes  

Pre-Session Survey + Links to Session Agenda & Goodies

Sometimes your learning content is conceptually sound but in need of a facelift - we can guide you through that process to avoid a Joan Rivers outcome. This workshop will focus on adapting existing ideas, learning materials, lesson plans, presentations, and learning activities into more beautiful, usable content. Bring something you’d like to reinvent - a worksheet, a PowerPoint presentation, an interactive tutorial, a video, a LibGuide - and your portable technology - laptop, tablet, pocket holodeck, etc.

Skills you’ll learn:
-Basic graphic design theory, practices, and hacks.
-Basic instructional design concepts and methods.

What you’ll walk away with:
-A transformed learning object, ready for deployment in your instruction or programming.
-A portfolio of recommended tools for design and learning object creation.
-Confidence that the new look is red carpet-ready. Even Joan will agree.
