Center for Teaching Excellence

I created these websites as a faculty fellow in LCC’s Center for Teaching Excellence.

StarScapes: Student Innovation & Creativity Showcase

Homepag of StarScapes: Student Innovation and Creativity Showcase for Lansing Community College, website with posters shared by students
When our college’s student showcase moved online during the pandemic, I created this website. The site allows students from a variety of disciplines can share their work with the campus community. It was created with the SplotBox WordPress theme which allows students to add presentations to the website without mediation.

 

The 400 Most Powerful Words in Teaching

This website is for sharing short essays written by community college faculty about why community colleges exist. Participants in the Center for Teaching Excellence course, Transforming Learning through Teaching, add essays to the site every semester. I redesigned this website and moved the essays into a site built with the TRU Writer theme which allows faculty to add content without mediation.

 

Open Learning Lab Website Showcase

I created this website to showcase WordPress websites created by the Lansing Community College Community members as part of the Open Learning Lab. It was built with the TruCollector WordPress theme which allows community members to add examples to the website without mediation.
