Content Curation
Content Curation
The Biological Changes course was developed for an exploratory video database that encourages learners to dive deeper into topics they are naturally curious about. This course offers learners the opportunity to directly engage with the content in addition to passively watching the videos offered.
I reviewed over 200 videos to find a set of videos that shared a topic and were beginner-friendly. I then curated these videos into a logical order, starting with a broader overview of biological change and transitioning into specific examples of biological changes, such as photosynthesis and metamorphosis.

After selecting the four videos used in this course, I reviewed the video content to discern what details would be appropriate for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. Since this course is catered to beginner learners, I focused on a general understanding of the concepts covered in the course material. This is reflected in the learning objectives I wrote for this course, which stay on the Remember and Understand levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Development
Development
With my learning objectives solidified, I designed accessible questions for each video that were beginner-friendly but still offered learners a challenge. The course format is four modules long, and each module consists of an instructional video followed by a quiz reviewing the concepts covered in the video.
I constructed the course on Kahoot!, an open-access LMS that does not require learners to have an account to participate in a Kahoot. Using gamification principles and multimedia such as text, images and GIFs, I produced a cohesive and interactive online experience for learners to explore interests in biology and test their knowledge in a low-stakes environment.
