Scaled SEL Course Redesign

Redesigned the capstone course for a Coursera specialization to improve navigation, clarify learner expectations, and create a more consistent instructional experience. The project focused on simplifying course structure, aligning learning materials, and reducing cognitive load while preserving the instructor's learner-centered vision.

Learning Outcome Revision

I collaborated with the instructor to revise the learning objectives, focusing on communicating the intended outcomes of the Capstone rather than describing the assignments.

Module Two Structure

I prioritized creating navigational titles for modules, lessons, and assignments. This involved striking a balance between simplicity and clarity. I used acronyms for the two pathways (SEL-IP and SEL-C), which I then incorporated as prefixes for each assignment. These prefixes were necessary in order for learners to clearly identify their required assignments in the grading book. Following the prefixes, I employed straightforward and descriptive titles consistent with the instructions' naming conventions across the course. This sample is a demonstrates the organizational structure and titling I introduced in each module.

Project Requirements Update

I cross-referenced all instructions and consulted with the instructor to ensure I had a clear understanding of the expectations. I then rephrased each element, including rubrics, to ensure consistency in expectations across all instances. My goal here was to alleviate concerns about potentially missing requirement details due to subtle variations in similar assignments, so I used the exact same phrasing in the exact same format wherever the instructions appeared.

Final Module Strucutre

I simplified the final module into two lessons, one for each pathway, in which learners submit their final assignments and access the application for university credit. Initially, there were separate lessons for each submission option, two for one path and six for the other. Due to unrelated reasons, the second pathway's options were reduced to three. This enabled me to condense the second pathway's choices into a single lesson without creating an overly cluttered lesson, and making the structure less complex.
