Summer Online Course Support

Spring 2025 & Spring 2026

Supporting summer online course development at Georgetown University

Supported the redesign and online adaptation of summer courses across mixed disciplines, helping faculty materials fit condensed 8-week online learning. Working with lead instructional designers, I contributed to alignment, sample builds, interactive elements, and course development across both new and redesigned offerings.

Context

I supported 2 new course builds and 12 redesigns in two Spring semesters, across disciplines from art to logic. Some courses were moving online for the first time, while others needed revision for a condensed summer format.

Process

Reviewed course materials for online fit and pacing
Built alignment matrices to connect CLOs, MLOs, and activities
Proposed revisions to course components and learner flow
Built sample pages and modules
Created H5P interactions for online activities
Collaborated with lead instructional designers during course build

Problem

Many courses were still structured for face-to-face teaching, with learning outcomes, activities, and assignments that did not fully support 8-week online delivery.

Deliverables

Alignment matrices
H5P interactions
Revised learner-facing course components
Canvas course pages

Outcomes

Helped faculty and design teams move more efficiently from existing materials to workable online course builds.

Reflection

This project reinforced that online adaptation is not simply about moving content into Canvas. Condensed online courses need stronger structure, clearer pacing, and more intentional alignment in order to work well for learners.

It also showed me how alignment work can shape later design decisions. By clarifying goals and relationships early, I was able to support more efficient build processes and help translate faculty materials into a more usable online experience.
