I wrote and designed a (fictional) online course for the Ontario Museum Association (OMA).

Created in response to a new province-wide initiative undertaken by the OMA to make museums and their collections more cultural inclusive by 2025 (Inclusion 2025), the course is intended to be hosted on the association’s website as required training for museum professionals.

The choice to create an online course (instead of an in-person one) was guided in part by the requirements of the pandemic, but will also help to make it a flexible option for future educational purposes.

Below are a few screenshots from the course. View the complete course, created using Articulate Storyline 360.
