Online Educational Content Delivery Tool

This project will explain the evolution and finalization of an educational content delivery tool, called Cyber Notes. Cyber Notes is designed to improve student engagement by embracing concepts such as chunking to present course content in smaller segments through multiple modes, and microlearning to deliver instructional material in shorter bursts so that students remain engaged. Additional techniques such as progressive disclosure, content interactivity, and emotional design are incorporated in Cyber Notes to captivate students and keep them involved. With development guided by the action research methodology and testing conducted over a dozen years in numerous classes, Cyber Notes has evolved into an effective and engaging educational content delivery tool that has assisted countless students in mastering complex STEM course content. Its features should prove especially beneficial to Gen Z and Gen Alpha students.

Modular Design of Teaching Cases

This study explains my component-based case study development approach, which makes developing the experiential component of project-based courses more manageable and reduces opportunities for academic dishonesty. The component-based development approach allows instructors to substantially alter and thereby reuse the case descriptions of hands-on projects in any courses that apply learning to real-life situations, such as database courses and systems analysis and design courses, by swapping various modules in and out. The result of this project will be an approach for better managing the practical component of software design and development courses and achieving project extensibility through reusable case description components in situations in which real-world applications are not practical.
