Online Astronomy Course

View my course trailer video.

Importance:
This is an example of one of the more than 60 innovative and engaging online courses I have developed for higher ed clients since 2015. It was my idea to reframe this 100-level course as a journey through the cosmos on the U.S.S. Kepler. The course was OER-driven and delivered resources through integrated Articulate Rise presentations that I designed and executed.

Learner target:
Online undergraduate students
