[IQP] A Virtual Resource for Developing Online Learning Content

Sponsor: Fundesteam
Student Team: William Aaron, Nicole Racca

Abstract: In partnership with Fundesteam, a Panama non-profit organization, our project built a virtual, web-based resource for educators creating online learning content, and to encourage more virtual STEAM education for Panamanian children. Operating remotely from Worcester, Massachusetts our team investigated virtual learning techniques and the creation of online content by interviewing secondary school teachers, compiling recommended services, educators’ opinions on online learning, and current issues/challenges (e.g., the struggle to virtually engage students). These interviews informed tutorials and recommendations the team developed for creating online content and adapting to virtual learning. The project designed a website to distribute these tutorials for online educators in Panama.
