problem and solution
Many language learners have difficulty grasping more nuanced parts of language or pieces that have no parallels in the learners native language. I developed this learning solution to help learners gain competence in differentiating between two different ways to say “to be” in Spanish .
multimedia integration
To increase engagement and address multiple learning styles, I integrated several videos and interactive media pieces in the learning experience.
learning activities and knowledge checks
The design incorporates numerous interactive components and knowledge checks. These engaging elements provide learners with an opportunity to interact with content and gauge their current competency.
Digital flashcards provide a convenient and effective way for learners to review and reinforce knowledge, improve retention, and enhance their overall understanding of the content.
A self-checking match activity allows learners to test their knowledge and pinpoint content that may need reinforced or relearned in order to achieve the learning goal.
