Revisiting some content from THEA 314 Fundamentals of Theatre Design course, looking at more interactive options than the traditional slide deck:
Pre-advising Training for Sophomore and Junior Theatre Majors
University of Montevallo has chosen Career Preparation as their target for the 2021-2025 Quality Enhancement Plan, the initiative is called P2P: Progression to Profession. Below are slides distributed to students through our department majors' Canvas page as an introduction to the common worksheet required of all UM students as part of the initiative design. (I also worked on the assignment and assessment design for this program!)
Again, the audience is majors that I know and advise, so the tone is fun and frolicsome. Our students respond to a casual rapport that is also appropriate for Theatre professional environments. Hence the jokes, my informal video, and addressing myself as "Emily" and not Professor Gill.

Instructional Module for Introduction to Theatre General Education Course
This slide deck is for the Theatre General Education Curriculum offering, Introduction to Theatre. This was a fully online, asynchronous Summer session course for non-majors. The need for references and terms highlighting of words they may or may not have heard before in different contexts is important so they learn the application of the vocabulary for their final assessment in the course. The Final Exam is designed like a series of case study questions, and while open EVERYTHING, students need to understand what is being asked in the context of Theatre. Googling terms and taking the first denotation is not a successful plan how I write the test! They need to be able to apply their learning to research and provide original and creative answers to the question prompts.
