A training on best practices in online creative writing workshops
Course
Distance Education
Assignment
- Share knowledge on best practices on some area of expertise
- Use Rise to make it engaging and interactive
- Incorporate design principles and tools we learned in class
Background
For Distance Education, I drew on my background in teaching writing to create a training on best practices in online creative writing workshops. The traditional in-person model of a writing workshop can be difficult to translate online, largely due to the level of trust and personal interaction required to make it successful. This project involved not only researching best practices but also employing different tools to make it an engaging lesson that would help other instructional designers who might be called upon to do this kind of design.
The process
This project was about communicating research in a way that was informative yet still engaging. Making design designs about how and where to add interactivity to a project that's basically communicating your own expertise is a great way to try out different tools & tricks.
The result
I learned how to deploy several different new tools and my classmates learned some best practices for when/if they're ever called upon to create so an an online course in a creative discipline. A win all around!
