What is a Production Concept?
E-Learning Module

A self-paced lesson - with branching scenarios - created in Articulate Storyline 360 for an undergraduate theatre appreciation class

  • Undergraduate learners enrolled in Intro to Theatre

  • Learners in an online asynchronous setting struggled to understand exactly what a director’s concept is and how it manifests itself in a fully staged theatrical production.

  • I created a self-paced lesson that introduces the relevant concepts and terminology, assesses learners’ understanding of these concepts, and presents them with a branching scenario that asks them to make the same decisions directors would make.

  • I served as the instructor for the course, designed and developed the SCORM-compliant RLO (in accordance with Section 508 standards), and recorded and edited the audio narration.

History of Theater Spaces
Interactive Video Lecture

A video lecture with a short assessment - created in Camtasia - for an asynchronous online theatre appreciation class

  • Online undergraduate learners enrolled in the summer term of Intro to Theatre

  • I needed to introduce online learners to the same material I would present on the history of theater spaces in the face-to-face version of the course.

  • I created an interactive video lecture - with a brief knowledge check - to show them visual examples of historical theater spaces, using Camtasia’s zoom and annotation functions to draw the learners’ attention to specific elements.

  • I served as the online instructor for the Intro to Theatre course, and I designed, developed, filmed, and edited the SCORM-compliant interactive video.

  • Camtasia, Audiate, Google Slides

Intro to Theatre Course Orientation
Video Tutorial

A welcome video / “course tour” for students enrolled in an asynchronous online class that uses the Canvas LMS

  • Online undergraduate learners enrolled in the summer term of Intro to Theatre

  • I needed a way to present online learners with the important information I would normally give them on the first day of class in a face-to-face environment.

  • I created a short welcome video to introduce learners to the course objectives, describe the types of assessments they will encounter, and show them how to access specific things within the Canvas LMS.

  • I served as the online instructor for the Intro to Theatre course, and I designed, developed, filmed, and edited the SCORM-compliant video.

Reducing Performance Anxiety
Online Reference Guide

A guide for Public Speaking students at St. Lawrence University - created in Adobe Captivate - containing video tutorials and other information

  • Undergraduate learners enrolled in Public Speaking

  • Public Speaking instructors consistently encountered learners who struggled with performance anxiety and wanted to provide these learners with resources to help them overcome it.

  • I created an online reference guide that provides learners with tips and breathing exercises to help them overcome their anxiety before, during, and after their performances.

  • I designed and developed the SCORM-compliant RLO, in collaboration with the Public Speaking instructors at St. Lawrence University, and I filmed and edited the video tutorials included within it.

  • Adobe Captivate, Kapwing

The Verb Gauntlet
Tutorial Website

A Google Site for acting teachers and theatre educators to learn how to incorporate a methodology I developed into their classes

  • Acting teachers and theatre educators

  • I had developed a technique for introducing the concepts of action and tactic to acting students - The Verb Gauntlet - but I didn’t have an effective way of sharing this technique with others.

  • I created a site for theatre educators to access to learn how they can incorporate the Verb Gauntlet into their classes or rehearsals.

  • I designed and developed the Google Site, photographed and filmed the working session with students, and edited the videos to include on the site.
