To understand online learning, one must first embark on a journey of self discovery through reading, discussions, reflection and hands on activities. The artifacts you will see throughout this portfolio were all designed for an Historical Fiction course that was originally authored for the MidHudson BOCES Consortium, a consortium of 4 regional Boards of Cooperative Education Services in New York State. Throughout the program at UW Stout, I made drastic changes to the course and curriculum to create a more conducive learning environment. Careful consideration was given to learner, content and context as each of these artifacts were designed. Although the transformation happened over the four courses, I choose to present the artifacts as conceptual chunks, rather than aligned to the specific courses in which they were created. I cannot properly express my gratitude to the instructors in this program, who helped to guide me on my journey of reflection to improve my practice. In particular I would like to thank Sara Turansky, Jim Erbe, Dr. Susan Manning, Dennis O'Connor, but most importantly, Dr. Kay Lehmann, for not only teaching me how to build community in my online courses, but also for being my mentor in the Practicum Experience, and my inspiration to follow my dream. *All images used on this site are in the public domain unless otherwise indicated*
