North-West University / Noordwes-UniversiteitShort course facilitator / Course designer for Developing a Website
May. 2023 - Aug. 2023Facilitating an online courseAs part of my curriculum development and digital education strategy, I successfully designed and implemented an in-depth academic module titled "Developing a Website", aimed at equipping students with essential theoretical knowledge and practical skills in website creation. Key Responsibilities and Successes: Curriculum Design: Authored a comprehensive content structure covering nine core topics including website strategy, visual design, content development, and user experience. Learning Outcomes Alignment: Created targeted learning outcomes (LO1–LO5) ensuring students could understand, apply, analyze, and evaluate the critical elements of website development. Industry-Relevant Approach: Integrated current South African digital trends and statistics to contextualize learning and highlight the importance of mobile responsiveness and user-centric design. Practical Application: Developed real-world case studies and examples (e.g., "Wake-me-Up" coffee shop) to demonstrate concepts like content hierarchy, site layout, and call-to-action optimization. Digital Literacy Advancement: Provided students with the tools to design engaging, accessible, and brand-aligned websites that support broader digital marketing strategies. This project reflects my commitment to delivering industry-aligned, student-centered learning experiences that promote digital fluency, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving.
