1. Poster Design Poster/Simulation

- Effective Poster Design Elements & Effective Poster Design Judging Exercise
- Goal is to get students thinking about designing posters
- Both for use in face-to-face workshop and can be used online
- Asks students to consider what effective poster design is and the criteria a poster might be measured against
2. Face-to-Face Workshop (What the World Knows About You: Online Identity and Privacy with Social Media)
- Worked on needs assessment and learner assessment
- Used pre-survey
- Authentic activity was to look up partner in the workshop to see how much information you can find
- Practiced for staff and changed tailored it more to students based on feedback
3. Medium as Message
- Updated technology and add new features
- Originally created in Pachyderm/flash, but need to change delivery as Pachyderm no longer supported. Original tool limited text and was hard for users to get additional content. Created in HTML5 (not in Flash so it could be viewed on mobile device)
- Also hope to add quizzes and additional interactivity in the future
