THESIS RESEARCH PROJECT
This eLearning course was created as part of my graduate thesis research paper, which is titled Using Microlearning to Teach Visual Design Principles to Educators.
In the paper, I describe how I conducted a mixed-methods design-based research (DBR) study to investigate the effectiveness of microlearning on the participants' understanding of visual design principles.
