The Challenge

Teachers are ill prepared to enter the workforce due to ineffective training and decreased online learner engagement. Undergraduate retention rates continue to fall due to poor online learning practices.

My Approach

Train teachers in technology usage with active and digital storytelling. I made engaging online content to supplement brick and mortar education and provide tools to meet student needs in the modern society.

The Outcome

An interactable social media-like experience that received positive feedback from professors and students. I created a lasting college course that engaged preservice teachers and provided a design foundation, showcased by my research.
