I helped colleagues at OES begin their work on Psychology units in the Monash Online Masters of Methal Health program.
I helped the team interpret the ISAP pedagogy used for on-campus instruction in the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and adapt that approach to a system that works within the Monash Online system of onlin study.

Masters of Mental Health is another course that is now performing well with an average SETU above 4.
The work you have done in PSY has also been instrumental in assisting the team to move forward with the Masters of Mental Health
OES Lead Learning Designer Performance Review 2023
I presented the innovative design of unique H5P Structure-strip H5P elements for the Ben interactive for Monash Online's PSY4111 in the Graduate Diploma of Psychology.
The H5P workshops brought OES LDs and LDAs from Melbourne, Cape Town and Edinburgh together to share their wicked problems and workshop H5P solutions.
The H5P workshops over the last two weeks were hugely successful and fun - thank you to everyone who came and shared their previous work, ideas and enthusiasm. I am always reminded during these workshops of how true it is that two heads are better than one. And when we combine the experience, creativity and willingness to explore new ideas from a creative group like ours we really do come up with amazing work for our students.
This animation was a collaboration between our learning designer and the graphic designer and me who developed the HTML/Javascript to make the interactive animation work.
The animation solution was a response to the challenge of presenting the content from the Say it out loud: Our Stories page in a more digestable and engaging way, and with consideration of trauma-informed learning design principles.
This is awesome Leigh and Callum! It looks so good and is a great way to capture attention for a Spark. Love it!

Watch the following video which showcases the work achieved in the PSY5020 build.
I led the design and development of units for Monash on-campus delivery for the Graduate Diploma of Psychology.
Students had been struggling with the learning design of the on-campus Moodle offering, and so the Monash Online team at OES was offered the chance to revamp the course.
The GDP Design workshop had been a valuable collaboration between GDP stakeholders and contributed greatly to the ultimate design of the GDP units.
The two units, PSY4111 and PSY4122 and a template to build more which my team delivered were designed to stretch the design and capbilities of Monash Moodle.
Awesome work with all the Shell design, Leigh Canny ⭐ I wouldn't even know where to start to get Moodle to look like that!! So cool seeing it in a different way.
OES Learning Designer July 2023
[What helped was] All Leigh's Moodle/coding experience to bring together the design of the shell for PSY4111 and the critical thinking workbooks.
OES Learning Designer August 2023
Watch the following video in which Leigh conducts a tour through many of the innovative design and navigation elements introduced into the GDP unitd to improve the student learning experience.
DATA
The unit obtained an overall student satisfaction score of 4.65/5.00, which is the highest rating the unit has received.
Thank you once again for all your efforts in putting together such a fabulous unit design and interactive module content! The quantitative student evaluations have been released and they are overwhelmingly positive.
Monash University Assistant Coordinator, Graduate Diploma in Psychology 21 November 2023
To help students in Monash Online's PSY5019 Addiction and Recovery unit to understand substance use in a way that considers trauma-infomed learning design pronciples, I developed an solution to presenting the quotations from lived experience perspectives.
Instead of briefing the graphic design department to create new graphics for each quotation throughout the unit, I developed this HTML solution consistent to an established graphical style, enabling learning designers to insert the content into code.
This procedure was much more efficient and achieved a better and more responsive result.
These are great Leigh Canny! Thanks for working those up!
OES Learning Designer 18 September 2023
That's awesome! that's really wonderful, you're a super star Leigh! I'd love to see how we can roll this out across other Monash units and perhaps other partners too
OES Digital Designer 15 September 2023
The reason I tried drugs was for something different. Pretty much that’s what it’s like with everyone; you just want to try new things, expand your mind.
The first time I used cannabis was with Mum’s flatmate. She said “can I give your daughter a joint” and Mum was like “yeah” cause they were really stoned and then Mum was like “no no” but it was too late.
My friends influenced me. They asked me to try it so I thought “ah yeah I’ll try it” and sitting around not drinking and smoking with them just made me feel like I wasn’t part of the group so I ended up doing it.
I was tasked to innovate an interactive solution to an important piece of critical thinking learning for the GDP unit PSY4111.
Using HTML, CSS and Javascript I developed the email interactive which includes a feedback mechanism using H5P.
If you see Leigh, could you give him a big high five for his work on the critical thinking stuff? It's so impressive to see someone reinterpret a brief to make it a hundred times better.
Monash Educational Designer August 2023
LOVE IT!!!!! This is a billion times better than what was there.
OES Learning Designer August 2023
Watch the following video which walks through the functionality of the 'Ben' critical thinking interactive and how the H5P works to deliver feedback to the student.
To accompany the design work accomplished in the two Graduate Diploma of Psychology unit redesign completed by OES, I developed a shell template unit to assist Monash on-campus Educational Designers to produce future units.
The shell template contained empty placeholder templated content, as well as instructions for how designers should make best use of all the Moodle elements.
thank you so much for the monumental effort that went into getting PSY4111 and PSY4122 fitted with a brand new template and ready on time. I am aware of how much Richard Oliver and the OES team went above and beyone to get these units ready on time, and for that you have our utmost appreciation and thanks! It looks amazing amd I hope our students appreciate all the effort that went into it.
Monash University GDP Course Convenor 25 August 2023
Thanks, Leigh for all your work on this- it looks great and should make it simpler for the team at Monash to replicate what OES have done in PSY4111 across the GDP course.
I really like these little labels with instructions, to be deleted on completion of changes. It’s a really neat way to produce both a style guide and a template with instructions for designers in one go.
Motivated by student input from the GDP Design workshop, I developed a Moodle mechanism for allowing students to track their own progress through each PSY4111 module.
The mechanism included a gamified completion reward at the end of each module. The reward for students who if students do tick all of them off is a personalised 'Easter egg' designed in HTML with the GDP's signiature 'blobby' graphical style, and including each student's individual name data.
I tick them off so that I know what I've actually done and gone through. It's a nice way for me to go through things.
Monash Online student testing feedback 16 August 2023
The following image captures the Moodle pop-up that signposts to students how to track their module progress via the box-ticking feature.
Awesome! I think the way you've signposted it in the opening of the Module is perfect 🚀 This is wonderful!
OES learning designers, Monash Learning Designers, OES teaching team, on-campus teachers, Monash academics, Psychology students, OES UX researchers and UX designers all came together for the GDP Design workshop.
The workshop was an opportunity for stakeholders to collaborate on a new way to present GDP units in Moodle designing for personas developed from student focus groups.
Watch the following video in which Leigh presents the collaborative designs for the landing page, weekly content page and assessments page.
I developed an HTML interactive for students to reflect upon their confidence in speaking about their experience of family violence for Monash Online's PSY5020 Family violence practice foundations for TP1 2024.
The following image captures the interactivity as students can select from a scale between 'Not at all confident' and 'Extremely confident'.
I developed an innovative approach to embedding Articulate Rise content into Moodle for Monash Online's PSY5012 Allies in Indigenous Health and Wellbeing unit.
Monash Online units typically did not include SCORM packages and so relied on my previous Articulate expertise (gained from working on the Teaching Interculturally project) to introduce the SCORM functionality into team's skillset.
Changes were required to the functionality of the Rise products themselves, easing students' journey through the learning materials.
The following image captures the interface I developed for student access to the Articulate Rise packages.
