Empathy can't be transferred through bullet points. It has to be designed into the experience. This course places learners inside the experience of visual and auditory impairment on the opening page, then uses gamification to sustain engagement while building genuine awareness of inclusive design principles.

Classroom engagement in large-enrollment courses required more than effort, it required a system. I partnered with UWI faculty to integrate clicker technology grounded in active learning research, co-authored the instructional eBook, and contributed to published research on formative assessment.

Language acquisition depends on immersion, cultural context, and real-time communication difficult to reproduce digitally. I designed a shared hub connecting NYU's New York and Florence campuses, integrating 360° experiences, virtual museum tours, and live community features. The medium became the message: cultural immersion, even through a screen.

When the pandemic eliminated in-person labs overnight, NYU's anthropology faculty faced a real problem: their labs weren't lectures. Students measured, touched, and collaborated in ways no slide deck could replicate. Using the Expert Blind Spot Model and scaffolded learning, I designed a three-phase structure that preserved the experiential heart of the discipline.
