Hello, I’m Melissa

Design Philosophy

My design philosophy centers around the consideration of each learner as a whole person; every learner has a unique background, experience and needs. I enjoy creating learning experiences reflective of this perspective by providing a range of options and opportunities for learners to engage in authentic, meaningful and relevant ways. I like to prioritize both accessibility and learner agency, so that learners can fully participate in the experience but also have a sense of ownership and investment in their learning. 

I believe technology can enhance learning when used effectively and I seek to use technology in innovative ways that support learning objectives and benefit the learner. My ultimate goal is to create experiences that are engaging, inclusive, and empowering to learners.
