Artifact(s):  LMS / Learning App / File Type Issue / DB Rules

​

​OVERVIEW:  As a part-time online teacher for Idaho Digital Learning Academy (IDLA) since Fall 2007,  I use the Blackboard LMS for our cohort classes and the BrainHoney LMS for our flex classes.  I am proficient in using both systems as teacher and/or course developer.  

​

I recently completed a course at Boise State University (BSU) called Mobile App Design where I developed a learning app for Android using MITs App Inventor.  In designing the app, I took special care to adhere to CARP (contrast, alignment, repetitive, proximity) principles when designing each of the pages.
