When the cat’s away… – Update from the Instructional Design Intern

While Nora was away presenting at ARLIS today, I focused on the library orientation website. I made a lot of progress on my first draft, with all but one page being completed. The landing page consists of images linking to modules for students to learn more about the library. Each module has information about different library activities, such as navigating the library website, finding ebooks, and printing in the library. Most of what I created uses images found on openclipart.org and edited in Photoshop. I also used Pixorize, an annotation tool, to markup a screenshot of the library homepage so students can learn what different features on the website do. I’m excited to use this for a map of the library next week, which will be on the last page I have to create for my first draft. I’m waiting for feedback from Nora when we meet next week, and hopefully the new orientation site will be launched shortly afterward.
Have a great week!
