I had the opportunity to work with Monash University IT academics and OES multimedia specialists develop more engaging video content using the Lightboard studio for Monash Online's ITO4001 Foundations of computing.
The Lightboard is a clear, side-lit glass pane for presentations, allowing the presenter to remain visible while writing with neon markers. Software flips text, and digital overlays enhance visuals.
For ITO4001, the mixture of slide content and penwork was often more engaging and the use of this filming technique humanised the practice of mathematics. For future Lightboard use a more complete powerpoint template and OES processes could be developed to refine the process futrther.
That lightboard stuff... I think that looks amazing, that video ...

This is super cool, hope we can MacGyver one of our own together! Was just thinking this could work for Psych Stats units in SOL maybe

Congrats again - really pushing the system. This is what I had hoped we could in a partnership with OES back three years ago when the partnership was just an idea.

Thanks Leigh. That was really great, and considering we're moving into the Graduate Certificate of Domestic Violence units at the moment, this looks really really great...

Designed interactive code-along experiences using CodePen, allowing students can try the code they are learning in video lectures.
Used CodePen to designed challenge activities for students to test their understanding at the end of each module.
Implemented gamification elements with unit Badgr badging system in Canvas which rewards students for completing specific coding tasks.
You have made a significant impact, particularly in the BICT units. You led the build on COS30043 which had a 8.60 SFU score and a 93% pass rate. This is the only BICT unit to have such a high score in both areas in it's first iteration online.
OES Lead Learning Designer 2022
Your pedagogical approach to the BICT units has had a huge impact on student and teacher experience, most notably in COS30043.
I partnered with another OES learning designer and multimedia producers along with stakeholders from Swinburne Online, SEEK and Vervoe to develop the Accounting employability module
The module is for graduating accounting students to develop job-readiness skills before entering the accounting workforce.
You have participated in and led several projects that have had a large impact on both the way we work and the experience our students have as the end user. In particular ... the work you completed in the Career booster: Beyond your degree accountancy employability module is now being rolled out across other units.
