This project was created for LTLE 611: User Interface Design.  In this project, I created a prototype website from scratch while learning HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.  I created this website as a tool for a blended learning classroom.  Learners select from the main menu both a subject and a medium.  Using JavaScript, I designed the page to allow users to have to select both a subject and medium to take them to the next level menu. 

​

During the design of this project, I focused on Gestalt's Theory and Mayer's Multimedia Theory to make thoughtful decisions that would increase the effectiveness of my users experience.  Throughout the design process, I completed a variety of usability tests with various learners to gather information to use towards the design of the website. 

​

This project was challenging and extremely satisfying.  I pushed myself to learn more about writing code and the finished project is one that I am quite proud of!
