About the Interactive Content Makeover

Documents used in this makeover were contributed by Education Development Center and, MA Community College Faculty. The original content included many real-world scenarios and exercises for student practice as well as some suggested videos and activities. For the transformation, instructional designers added context and remediation to allow students to complete the lesson independently. Interactive exercises, embedded video and online activities all contribute to a highly experiential learner experience. Tools used in this makeover include Rise. The makeover was supported by Monarch Media, Inc.
