Signing Success: CTC staff earn Learnie Award for ASL videos
有料盒子视频 Community Technical College American Sign Language instructor Laurel Keyer and program assistant Lizanne Hanson were recipients of a Learnie Award during a ceremony at the 有料盒子视频 Pub on Nov. 9.
The Learnie Awards celebrate programs or classes that create excellent online course and video content to support student learning.
Keyer and Hanson collaborated on the development of ASL teaching videos for CTC's first online ASL class. The videos focus on various topics that students need to learn and were created as instructor lessons in the Center for Teaching and Learning鈥檚 new Teaching and Learning Studio. They emphasize important ASL elements like facial expression, gesture and posture, which would be very difficult to understand without a visual demonstration. Topics such as contrast and comparison were covered in the context of conversational ASL. These videos aim to provide students in an asynchronous ASL class with the essential tools to understand proper ASL signing and grammar usage.
