Writer, Instructional Designer, and Project Lead - Humber Polytechnic
As online learning rapidly expanded, I led the creation of Design Your Online Course (DYOC)—an interactive guide built to support Humber Polytechnic faculty in developing learner-centered, outcomes-based online courses. The resource was tailored for instructors new to both online teaching and the SME role, offering structured, practical guidance grounded in learning theory.
