The final project applies to educational or workplace settings, prioritizes user experience, and meets industry standards for accessibility.
The course is designed to be delivered in an innovative online format that combines asynchronous and synchronous elements to enhance learning flexibility. This Open Educational Resource includes a detailed course description, learning objectives, assignments with rubrics, and a comprehensive 12-week topic outline featuring analysis questions, readings, synthesis questions, and H5P Knowledge Checks.
