This presentation was created as part of a project within EDP 5216, Theories of Learning and Cognition in Instruction.  For this assignment, I was tasked with covering a chapter on Learning and Digital Technology.  In it, I presented some findings on gamification (the application of game strategies to learning) and how it is being applied to various learning tools.  Some examples include Duolingo and Virtual Reality training.

In EME 5078 - Design of Online & Digital Adaptive Learning, I created an example of a Woodworking course that could be offered both in-person and online.  This course takes advantage of virtual reality technology that would allow online students to participate in life-like woodworking projects.  Technology like this is already in widespread use within nursing education, automotive repair, welding schools, and others.

In EME 6414, Web 2.0, I learned about numerous ways the internet has changed both formal and informal learning.  For example, thanks to social media and other web apps, it's never been easier to engage in various learning communities.  For one particular assignment, I researched how the popular app Discord has allowed online communities to thrive and how my favorite app, Notion, is making note taking and project tracking easier for students and businesses.

The final paper for EDP 5216, Theories of Learning, was for students to reflect on their knowledge and personal preferences in teaching styles. As I've stated before, I strongly believe in experiential learning.  However, through this assignment, and even this course, I learned just how important it is for instructors to adapt their teaching style to fit the needs of the students and content.  No one teaching strategy can be appropriate for all subject matters.  Above all, we must adapt to meet the needs of our students.

For EME 6415, Development of Courseware, I created a simple PowerPoint quiz game based off of the popular television gameshow, Jeopardy.  This game can be played in teams or by individuals.  It follows the rules of the gameshow in that contestants can pick a category, followed by the amount.  First person to raise their hand in this scenario is allowed to answer.  We were able to pick our content of choice, and being a lifelong aviation geek, I chose to base this quiz on popular aircraft from around the world.

This quick guide was created for my internship for the Colligate School at FSU.  I've been tasked with creating both guides and instructional videos on various tasks teachers will perform in Canvas to build out their courses.  This includes exporting their content, applying themes, linking testing tools, and more.
