Time & Stress Management
Project Overview
This project focuses on helping higher education learners manage stress and time effectively. In collaboration with my team, we developed an interactive eLearning module on "Stress and Time Management" using Articulate Storyline 360, designed in alignment with the Quality Matters Higher Education rubric. The module provides learners with practical strategies to manage their workload, reduce stress, and enhance productivity.

​Challenges and Approach​
Challenges
Maintaining learner engagement and ensuring accessibility and inclusivity was a key challenge.
​
Approach
We addressed this by incorporating AODA and WCAG accessibility standards, including alt-text for images, closed-captioned YouTube videos, and clear navigation. To maintain learner engagement, we integrated external tools like Kahoot and Padlet for collaborative activities, and used ClickUp to track progress.​

Accessibility is Key
Designing with accessibility in mind from the beginning (e.g., alt-text, closed-captioning) ensures that the learning experience is inclusive and effective for a wider audience.
