Project Overview

At the Baptist University of Florida, I led the visual redesign and administration of the Canvas LMS platform to improve user experience and expand the system’s instructional capabilities. A key part of this project was the integration of adaptive learning strategies through the use of Canvas’s MasteryPaths functionality.

The redesign and functionality upgrades were focused on improving navigation, reinforcing the university’s visual identity, and enabling more personalized learning paths for students.

Objectives

  • Improve the visual layout and interface of the Canvas LMS.

  • Ensure consistency with the university’s branding and academic tone.

  • Incorporate adaptive learning elements to promote individualized student progress.

  • Streamline site administration and course management.

My Contribution

  • Executed a visual redesign of the Canvas LMS dashboard, menus, and course templates.

  • Managed the day-to-day administration of the LMS, including user support, role assignments, and site settings.

  • Implemented MasteryPaths to enable conditional content release based on student performance.

  • Collaborated with faculty and instructional teams to integrate adaptive pathways into course design.
