You may be thinking that you have enough to worry about right now so why start creating with a new tool?! Well, this tool is worth it, at least in my opinion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you want to add some spark to the way your students view your course content? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you are on this site, then I am sure the answer is of<\/span> course<\/span><\/i>! Well, with a couple extra minutes you could present your material in a more professional looking, interactive, personal, and simply amazing way. I truly love creating material using Web Pages from <\/span>Adobe Express<\/span><\/a>. I use Express Pages (formerly called Spark Pages) in every section of my online courses.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I embed Express Pages in my learning management system (LMS) and students have the option to make them full screen. One of the best features with Express Pages is that you can <\/span>edit your pages and then click on update link. You don\u2019t have to change anything on your course site!!<\/b> I tend to change one thing or the other in my pages from semester to semester (like the midterm or final information page) and do not need to log in and go into LMS to make any changes. Embedding isn\u2019t the only option, though. You can send out an email with your page directly from Adobe Express Pages or use a shareable link to post wherever you prefer. I always choose to embed but if a student asks to get ahead I am happy to send them a link with the next unit\u2019s page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All my modules use Express pages. Students do have the option to click on them or go piece by piece on our LMS.<\/span> While I believe these Express pages look awesome, maybe a student finds them daunting since there is a lot of information and scrolling on one Web Page. For this reason, I always give them the option in each unit to view based on their preference. At the top of the module I place the Express Page and have text that follows explaining they can also read all the information piece by piece below, in the same folder.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some actual examples from some of my courses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
