The problem
The Leadership Knoxville Scholars senior capstone existed only as a synchronous course. The program needed an asynchronous section that carried the same academic weight — not a thinned-out version for students who couldn't attend live.
What I built
Working from the existing course materials, I rebuilt them as a complete Canvas package: structured weekly modules, interactive activities, rubrics for every assignment, and custom banner graphics designed in Canva.
Accessibility was a design constraint from the start rather than a cleanup pass at the end. The course meets WCAG standards, with alt text throughout and visual elements built to work with screen readers.
I storyboarded the full course in Excel before building, which let the faculty client see and approve the structure before any development time went into it.
What I handed off
The complete Canvas IMSCC package, the course storyboard, and a handoff guide written so the instructor could run the course without me.
That last piece is the one I'd point to. Designing a course is one thing. Documenting it so someone else can teach it, semester after semester, is what makes it usable after the designer leaves.
